Yewande Omotoso shares her latest novel -
The Mail and Guardian wrote - "The Woman Next Door does well to collate her multiple concerns into a witty and emotive read. Two characters, Hortensia James and Marion Agostino, drive the story. Hortensia and Marion are neighbours. One is black, one white... Omotoso’s erudite writing and nuanced characters sidestep the pitfalls suggested by the billing. The two are consumed by bitterness, which initially seems only rooted in race, until one journeys with them a little bit further.”
