Suzanne Berne writes novels about what happens when the calm surface of ordinary life cracks open. Her debut, A Crime in the Neighborhood, won the Orange Prize for Fiction and established her reputation for finding suspense and unease in suburban settings where nothing seems obviously wrong.
Her books tend to be quiet and observant, building tension through the accumulation of small details rather than dramatic plot twists. She is also a teacher and essayist, and that careful attention to language and character shows in her fiction.
