Description
Stephen Amidon's The New City is a thought-provoking thriller that challenges the idealised American dream. Set against the backdrop of 1970s America, this novel explores the tensions and contradictions beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic community. In Newton, Maryland, a model town built on harmony and prosperity, two men with different backgrounds - one white, one black - have worked together to create a utopia. But as the years pass, cracks begin to appear in this carefully constructed society, threatening to upend the delicate balance of power. As relationships are tested and misunderstandings escalate, the very foundations of Newton's tranquility are put at risk. This gripping novel is a pacey read that raises important questions about identity, community, and the complexities of human relationships.
