What is the setting (time, era, place)? What mood does the author creates through the setting?

The
setting of takes
place in 1980s Connecticut in a middle class, suburban
neighborhood. The book
begins during the fall season, which also creates a sense of nostalgia
about
family-oriented holidays. Little Janie Johnson and her family are close friends with
the
next-door neighbors and all seems as it should be. The setting creates a
sense of economic,
social, and familial stability and middle class normality.
Through these descriptions, the
setting creates a false illusion of security
for the readers as they are introduced to the
seemingly ordinary life of
Janie Johnson. When Janie discovers that her seemingly normal and
stable life
may not be as it seems, the setting serves to contrast sharply with this

discovery.
