When the neighborhood’s residents start to become suspicious of a stranger’s presence, their paranoia kicks in, and they go through various lengths to safeguard their homes against what they deem as a mysterious threat. The neighbors—whose own individual, complex backgrounds examine their worries—also begin to turn on one another as Dani becomes aware of the antagonism that she faces within the suburb. Throughout the novel, Dani’s backstory slowly unfolds to detail her own fears living alone as a young woman, reveal her past trauma that haunts her, and explain why she walks through Grace’s Grove at night. Told through a rotating point of view that features the judgmental and satirical voice of the neighbors, this novel explores fear in its many forms, the distinction between public and private lives within a community, and what it means to be an outsider to that community as a woman tries to reclaim her life. 2021-05-24 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1616522641663045 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1616522641663045 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
