A searing and strikingly intimate debut set in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, about a newly married lesbian couple who move into a flipped foreclosure, unaware that the former homeowners are still living in the attic.

Months after the housing bubble bursts, newlywed Chicagoans Emma and Rachel move into a charming little house in a conservative Indiana college town, hoping for a fresh start after a painful miscarriage. As Rachel immerses herself in her new role as a tenure-track professor and bestselling novelist, adjunct Emma struggles in the shadow of her wife’s success. Desperate to build something of her own, Emma secretly pursues IVF, even as Rachel insists they wait to have children. The house, initially a symbol of new beginnings, becomes a refuge for Emma from the town she’s convinced is set against her—until strange occurrences make her question whether she and her wife are truly alone.

They aren’t.

Charlotte and Dirk, the former homeowners, are secretly living in the attic above Emma and Rachel’s attached garage. Dispossessed by the recession and anxious about her husband’s declining health, Charlotte listens to the interlopers below, and her resentment steadily grows. What starts as small acts of defiance—missing food, flipped breakers in the fuse box, subtle scratches in the furniture—soon becomes sabotage. But when her campaign to drive out the couple goes too far, Charlotte’s and Emma’s stories converge in an explosive climax that will reveal the lengths people will go to reclaim what they’ve lost.

Reseñas de la crítica

“The heart of this book is about marriage: what it is, what it has been, and what it can be….Uptmor skillfully weaves Charlotte and Emma’s perspectives to both mirror and conflict with each other. [I] Recommend this debut to anyone interested in the micro-interactions that can make or break a relationship.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Assured…Uptmor offers perceptive insights into the women’s feelings of inadequacy and exclusion. This weighty novel will move readers.”—Publishers Weekly
“The New People is a riveting story of precarity and privilege, told with great tenderness and imagination by a master storyteller. I loved reading about the intertwined lives of these two couples as they struggle to find sources of love and resilience in a world shifting beneath their feet. Andrea Uptmor has written the novel of the affordability crisis. A timely, propulsive, and big-hearted debut.”—Bruce Holsinger, author of The Gifted School and Culpability (Oprah’s Book Club)
"Andrea Uptmor’s The New People is a delicate exploration of humanity in all its forms, touching on infertility, addiction, grief, and love with real awareness and pathos."—Loretta Rothschild, bestselling author of Finding Grace
"This is a book of wonders…With its suspenseful story, the novel tells us about people who live in hiding, and how we live or try to live now, visibly or invisibly. Its characters and their secrets will stay with you long after you turn the last page.”—Charles Baxter, author of Blood Test
"Andrea Uptmor’s The New People is centered on two of the most pressing questions we face as human beings: where and with whom do we feel at home? A deeply tender, spirit-lifting portrait of what happens when we lose the things we think define us and discover that we are made of oh so much more."—Heather Aimee O’Neill, author of The Irish Goodbye
