On this particular block Francis goes back to her neighbor’s house to pick up toilet paper holders that the daughter has forgotten to bring to school. Needless to say, on a small block in a small community, everyone seems to be aware of everything. Frances drives all the kids from the block back and forth to school in a carpool. One of the central characters is Francis Bloom, a good hearted soul who loves to help other people. Within the main story are the stories of the neighbors involved.Ībbi Waxman describes her colorful cast of characters as complicated, complex, diverse, and confused. The story takes place surrounding a few neighbors homes. Actually I have a front row seat.The genres for this story are Fiction and Women’s Fiction. This story has a “Peyton Place” feel, and I almost feel like a voyeur in these neighbor’s homes. Kudos to Abbi Waxman,Author of “Other People’s Houses” for weaving such an intriguing and captivating story. MY REVIEW OF “OTHER PEOPLE’S HOUSES” BY ABBI WAXMAN
