A Good Neighborhood

In this time of environmental consciousness, this book brings home the importance of our surroundings and how.
A beautiful majestic oak tree is at the center of this conflict between two neighbouring families made up of completely different type of people.
The tree is representative of so many things to Valerie, most of all, her husband but it is in danger due to the unthinking selfish actions of the new neighbour Brad. The conflicts between the two families are brought to the fore while drawing vivid pictures of the characters involved. The relationship that the children of the warring parties develop is another angle worth pondering over.
This book was a pure pleasure to read and made me wish I had read the author sooner. I will recommend this one to my friends in a heartbeat. Its a great book for the book club having so many different aspects for discussion.
