Opis

From the author of The Garden of Small Beginnings comes a hilarious and poignant new novel about four families, their neighborhood carpool, and the affair that changes everything.

At any given moment in other people's houses, you can find...repressed hopes and dreams...moments of unexpected joy...serious self-reflection...someone making love on the floor to a man who is most definitely not her husband...

*record scratch*

Francis Bloom, neighborhood carpool mom, thinks she has seen it all. But when she walks in on Anne Porter doing the latter, she vows to mind her own business. A notion easier said than done, when Anne's husband throws her out a couple of days later. The repercussions of the affair will reverberate through the four carpool families--and Frances finds herself navigating a moral minefield that could make or break a marriage...

Meet your new favorite wry writer. The Daily Beast

Hilarious ruminations about child-rearing, shopping, and other parents give [Other People's Houses] broad appeal that should extend beyond fans of Waxman's first novel. Publishers Weekly

Once again, Waxman manages to take a far-reaching topic and sprinkle it with spicy dialogue, adorable kids, and characters who feel like best friends...Frances is equal parts warmth and snark as she considers her friends and neighbors through the lens of TMI. Recommend to those who like to turn pages quickly without sacrificing complex characters. Booklist
