Armed with self-help books, her cat and a collection of cow-shaped milk jugs, she moves into her new home and sets about getting to know the neighbours, especially the man next door. She ignores her neighbour's inconvenient girlfriend, but it's not quite as easy for Annie to dismiss her own past. As Annie's murky history of violence, secrets and sexual mishaps catches up with her, she cannot see that she has done anything wrong. She's just doing what any good neighbour would do, after all... eBook.

Jenn Ashworth, Books, Fiction and Literature, A Kind Of Intimacy, A Kind of Intimacy is a sardonic look at self-help gone disastrously wrong. In Annie Fairhurst's world, the past can never loosen its grip on the present, and the persistent exhortation to better oneself and one's lot in life urges her, time and time again, to embark on thoroghly terrifying journeys. Annie is obese, socially awkward, yet determined to escape a difficult past and to start over. She moves into a new neighborhood, bringing virtually nothing from her previous life with her. Then again, there is very little of her previous life left to bring. She has wiped the slate clean. Neil, Annie's unsuspecting new neighbor, makes the mistake of being friendly and, convinced his friendliness indicates that he is enamored of her, Annie's bizzare behavior escalates from petulant to, finally, criminal. All the while, Annie is convinced that she is the one to whom life has dealt a foul hand, that she is the real victim. As the persona she has so meticulusly created begins to crumble, a bloody and disastrous finale seems inevitable.

Annie's distinctive voice becomes so intimate that, while we laugh and condemn, the uncomfortable knowledge dawns that there might be a potential Annie in us all as she teaches us `how human beings need gentleness."-The Independent"One day you're in clover; the next Annie has moved in next door and all hell's broken out. Annie brings a vast collection of grudges, superhuman mendacity and a trove of well-thumbed self-help manuals with her: These furnish her with what she sees as impeccable social `skills,' diligently misapplied to every unsuspecting community she colonizes."-The Guardian"Annie Fairhurst bears a resemblance to Stephen King's Annie Wilkes (from Misery) and Ashworth is playing with the horror genre here, although the reader doesn't realize this for quite some time. Until then, it seems to be an indictment of suburban living, God help you if Annie moves in next door!"-Politico (Ireland).
