How did it make her feel more connected to the outside world?.What was your initial impression of Anna? Did it change as the book went on?.Book club questions for The Woman in the Window What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one-and nothing-is what it seems. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble-and its shocking secrets are laid bare. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times.

Īnna Fox lives alone-a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening. I think this story might even work better in the film version. But I still thought it was a compelling read and it kept my interest to the end. I had my suspicions that the neighbor Ethan was somehow involved with his mom’s murder. I could tell right away that her husband and daughter were actually dead. Spoilers: Still, I personally saw the twists coming. I also felt for her as she’s experienced the unimaginable. She felt a little more real than the other ones, especially with her bits of humor. Compared to other similar stories ( The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl), I like this protagonist, Anna Fox, the best.
