It is 1876, the year of the Centennial in Philadelphia. Katherine has lost her twin sister Anna in a tragic skating accident. One wickedly hot September day, Katherine sets out for the exhibition grounds to cut short the haunted life she no longer wants to live.Filled with vivid detail that artfully brings the past to life, National Book Award nominee Beth Kepart's DANGEROUS NEIGHBORS is a timeless and finely crafted novel about betrayal and guilt, hope and despair, love, loss, and new beginnings.Publishers Weekly Starred ReviewSet in Philadelphia against the backdrop of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition (the first Worlds Fair in the U.S.), this atmospheric novel traces the sentiments of griefstricken Katherine, whose identical twin sister, Anna, died in a tragic accident earlier in the year. As the novel opens, Katherine, who feels responsible for Annas death, has decided to take her own life. Again and again, she is drawn to the exhibition grounds. Here, futuristic marvels and unexpected eventsincluding a disastrous fire detain her from completing her suicidal mission. Losing herself in a throng of strangers, she examines her past, recalling the development of her sisters secret romance with a dangerous neighbor and the final sequence of events that led to Annas death. Conjuring sharp, meticulously detailed images of fair exhibitions (The wonders of the world slide past. Parisian corsets cavorting on their pedestals. Vases on lacquered shelves. Folding beds. Walls of cutlery. The sweetest assortment of sugarcolored pills, all set to sail on a yacht), Kephart (The Heart is Not a Size) evokes a tantalizing portrait of love, remorse, and redemption. Ages 12up. (Aug.)
