Neighbors, a Novel

"Neighbors" takes place in Eagles Pond, a fictional upper-middle class neighborhood in Minneapolis, where the complexion of the people and value systems are rapidly changing. These changes leave the middle-aged protagonists, Peter Jensen, Leroy Thompson, and Jerry Deland, as part of a generation coming to grips with the inevitable loss of power and privilege that they have long taken for granted. "Nelsestuen evokes the midlife disappointments and anxieties of his characters with great subtly and empathy..." Kirkus Reviews
