Product Description

A gorgeous and unforgettable novel set in a turn-of-the-century New York apartment building on the Upper East Side, Love Storeys features four interwoven stories about love, life and living together. Meet Eve Gallagher in Apartment 7A, newly relocated to New York from London with her ambitious banker husband. But she's lonely and lost ... until she meets elderly neighbour Violet, who's concealing a tragic story of her own. The Kramers and the Schulmans in Apartments 6A and 6B are about to find their lives intersecting in a most unfortunate manner when Jason Kramer falls head-over-heels for Rachael Schulman. Jackson Grayling III in Apartment 5A is 26, fantastically wealthy and a directionless and hapless layabout ... but he's attracting the attention of a gold-digger in 2B even though he's far more interested in the beautiful and hardworking Emily Mikanowski in 3B. And finally, plain, dull and self-conscious Charlotte Murphy rents 2A and works in the Public Library ... she lives in a dreamworld and is desperate to be anyone but herself. Will any of her neighbours ever take enough notice of her to save her?

Review
'Like a chick-lit version of Tales of the City, The Girl Next Door tells the stories of the residents of an apartment block in Manhattan. We loved it ... we were totally hooked wondering what twists were coming next' --Heat *****

Customer Reviews

Read Candace Bushnell instead
I'm sorry to disagree with the other reviewers, but I found this book a real bore. Yes, there is some heart-tugging stuff about a sick baby, but (without wishing to sound cynical) that isn't enough to make a good or moving book. In theme it's very reminiscent of Candace Bushnell's One Fifth Avenue, revolving around the inhabitants of an apartment block in New York. Unfortunately, the characters struck me as pretty dull and lifeless, and I just couldn't care very much about them. Despite the many references to Central Park and Barneys and shopping, the city didn't come alive. Bushnell's book is far more frivolous, and a far better read. Also, a minor point - many of the American characters sounded suspiciously English (saying 'mum' instead of 'mom', for instance.) I know many people love Elizabeth Noble's books and will hate me for saying this, but there is much better stuff out there.

Pulls at the Heart Strings
This is just a good as her previous books well written makes you smile and shead a tear as the writer is able capture your inner most emotions.

heartbreaking tale, brilliantly written
This book is not for anyone who has recently had a problem in pregnancy or nicu. it compleatly broke my heart. That said it is a brilliant book and writen in a way that btouches your soul. but whilst it does have a happy ending it makes you think about like and death and meaning.
I loved reading it but dont feel able to pass it on to any friends as they all have babies or have had a miscarrage
