Pound Ridge Library Book Group

The Pound Ridge Library Book Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 11:45 am.

This month, we will be reading ‘Perfectly Nice Neighbors’ by Kia Abdullah. “A riveting and timely thriller, Perfectly Nice Neighbors asks the question: When your dream home comes with nightmare neighbors, how far will you go to keep your family safe?”

Salma Khatun is hopeful about Blenheim, the suburban development into which she, her husband, and their son have just moved. The Bangladeshi family needs a fresh start, and Blenheim feels like just the place.
Soon after they move in, Salma spots her White neighbor, Tom Hutton, ripping out the anti-racist banner her son put in the front garden. Avoiding confrontation, Salma takes the banner inside and puts it in her window. But the next morning, she wakes up to find her window smeared with paint.
When she does speak to Tom, battle lines are drawn between the two families. As racial and social tensions escalate and the stakes rise, it’s clear that a reckoning is coming . . .
And someone is going to get hurt.
