Nobody lives around the house except an old doctor, Palamède Bernadin, and his wife, Bernadette, in a little house. To be polite, Emile and Juliette decide to meet them, and thus come in contact with Palamède Bernardin, who develops the habit of coming into their house everyday precisely at 4pm, sitting in an armchair and waiting until 6pm, barely saying a word, at which time he, ever punctually, goes back home. The visits become slowly more and more unbearable, until the Hazels resolve to get rid of him. But by what means?[1][2][3][4][5] References1. ^Hungry Like the Wolf Review and Summary {{portal bar|Literature|Belgium}}{{Amelie Nothomb}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Stranger Next Door}}{{1990s-novel-stub}}{{Belgium-stub}}2. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/15/books/books-in-brief-fiction-parbleu-it-s-them-again.html New York Times, Book review by Janet Kayefeb, 15, 1998] 3. ^Complete Review 4. ^[https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/amelie-nothomb/the-stranger-next-door/ Kirkus Reviews] 5. ^Publisher weekly 4 : 1995 novels|Belgian novels|French-language novels|Novels by Amélie Nothomb |
