This month’s title is The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud. 
Nora Eldridge--elementary school teacher, reliable friend and neighbor, repressor of her own artistic and personal dreams--has resigned herself to being on the fringe of other people's achievements.  But when a beguiling student enters her classroom, and his glamorous, cosmopolitan parents welcome her into their world, Nora's newfound happiness explodes her boundaries. . . until a subsequent betrayal puts her own sense of self at stake.

       "Claire Messud's masterly novel is the stunning confession of a woman awakened, transformed, and abandoned by a desire for a world beyond her own."
