Miller’s Valley by Anna Quindlen
Expected Publication: April 5, 2016
Publisher: Random House
Synopsis
A novel about family and the secrets that we keep—a young woman learning to love and leave home and realizing that, maybe, she never quite left. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Still Life with Bread Crumbs and Rise and Shine.
This story begins in the 1960s and explores how Mimi Miller comes of age, over and over again.
As a young girl in Miller’s Valley, an ordinary farming town that may be facing its final days, Mimi is observing adults, selling corn, growing up and changing, and watching the world around her change, too.
As the years go by, the unthinkable starts to seem inevitable. Anna Quindlen’s novel takes us through the changing eras of Mimi and her family, as secrets are revealed, and the heartbreaks of growing up and falling in love with the wrong man are overcome.
A deeply moving, inspiring story of a young woman learning to love and leave, the place and family from which she comes.
Why I Can’t Wait
I love a novel that takes us through time and we get to see people as they grow for good or bad. Plus how can you not love a read that is full of family secrets? Can’t wait!
I've read a couple of this author's fiction books and also one of her non-fiction. Loved them. I can't wait for this book too! Very nice pick!
