Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate and Darling Girls, now a major TV series on the ABC.
"This is women's fiction at its finest" Liane Moriarty
In a moment of maternal despair Essie once made a terrible mistake, one she will always regret. Essie has since recovered, but she fears what may still lurk inside her.
Her neighbours in Pleasant Court have their own issues. Driven and organised, Ange has everything under control, except perhaps her husband. Practical, intellectual Fran can't stop running. For exercise, or something else?
Then one day, Isabelle arrives and appears to be very curious about her neighbours. Too curious, some might say.
It soon becomes clear that Isabelle's choice of neighbourhood was no accident . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From its heart-racing opening to its unpredictable ending, Sally Hepworth’s suburban drama is intense and unforgettable. Switching perspectives between five different women, the Australian author paints a gripping picture of middle-class Melbourne and the complicated inner lives of those who live there. It’s Hepworth’s sharp focus on the specific fears and anxieties surrounding motherhood that make The Family Next Door both hopeful and heartbreaking. Beautifully written and tightly plotted, it’s no surprise the novel has earned praise from Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty. Once you start, you won’t want to put it down.
