| Summary | "Our Next-Door Neighbors" by Belle Kanaris Maniates is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main characters, Lucien Wade and his wife Silvia, as they navigate the challenges of life in their home filled with the boisterous children of their neighbor, the Polydore family. The book explores themes of domesticity, social class, and the unexpected chaos brought by children into the lives of those who typically shun them. At the start of the story, Lucien reflects on his childhood connection with Silvia and highlights their struggle with the absence of children in their lives despite their desire for them. After years of marriage, they find their lives dramatically intertwined with the Polydores, a family with a multitude of unruly children who invade their space and complicate their quiet existence. The opening chapters keenly set the stage for the comedic and often chaotic interactions between the Wades and the Polydore children, showcasing the humor and unpredictability that ensues as they attempt to adjust to their new neighbors.
