NJ.com announced today its list of the best Jersey books of 2007. This best books list includes The Other Mother, a new motherhood novel by Gwendolen Gross.
"Suburbia is not really a safe place at all, especially for Moms and kids. The neurotic micro-managing of childhood by self-doubting parents and competitive crafters provides fertile ground for Gwendolen Gross in her newest peek through the Pella windows in The Other Mother... It is a funny, gripping, scary adventure set in the dark underbelly of the cul-de-sac near you."
-Maureen Berzok, NJ.com, Jersey Writers
"As a New Jersey author, I was thrilled to have The Other Mother selected as a Best Jersey Book of 2007. I set my third novel here (in a mythical town near the Valley Hospital) because the territory—physical and social both—is rich and fascinating. Sure, we’re close to New York City and all its glories, but there’s plenty to be explored right in the Garden State. What an honor!"
-Gwendolen Gross, author of The Other Mother
The other three books named as best Jersey books of 2007 are: The Last Three Miles by Steven Hart, Exit Ghost by Philip Roth, and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.
