Joanna Michlic. "The Soviet Occupation of Poland, 1939–41, and the Stereotype of the Anti-Polish and Pro-Soviet Jew," Jewish Social Studies: History, Culture, and Society. Spring/Summer 2007, Vol. 13, No. 3:135-176. Hadley’s latest novel, set in 60s London, is about 44-year-old Phyllis who lives in the suburbs with her husband and children. One night, at the edge of a pond, she kisses a young family friend: her life is changed. Two sets of neighbours brilliantly portray Phyllis’s split existence. There are the Holmeses across the street, at whose party Phyllis feels suffocated. And there is Barbara, the nurse from Granada, who is the neighbour of Phyllis’s young lover in Ladbroke Grove. These neighbours embody not only the starkly different social worlds that Phyllis inhabits, but also what it means for a woman reeling out of her assigned roles to be looked at by society.

I really liked the italics chapters which were told from the POV of Sandra (the wife) they were really interesting opening up a can of worms and creeping closer and closer towards the current day. Dariusz Stola, A Monument of Words, Shoah Resource Center, Yad Vashem, http://yad-vashem.org.il/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%205414.pdf The title alone had me intrigued. However, I was taken completely by surprise by this story. I never would have guessed how things would evolve – or where it would end up.

The plot keeps you guessing throughout as you are trying to piece together how the storylines are related. I liked how it all came together. The ending felt satisfying with everything resolved. There was one main twist that was interesting and connected the characters together. However, the reveal was missing that “but wait there’s more” aspect that adds layers.

Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again. Logan was a parcel delivery driver and happy to have the job, given to him by his brother-in-law. He had to prove himself – which he was determined to do – but the morning he pulled up in front of Katherine West’s home on Hogarth Street to deliver a computer – which needed a signature – and Katherine wouldn’t open the door, his instincts told him something was very wrong. He continued his deliveries but couldn’t get the house and its residents from his mind.
