Miller's Valley by Anna Quindlen
I settled into this book like a comfortable chair. Mimi was such a natural and easy narrator that I feel sad that in order to hear her voice again, I'll have to re-read the book. There was a tragedy to her story and her world that was very subtle yet impactful. The material for tragedy was plentiful -- a beloved brother lost, an environment and home slowly drowning, a confusing family dynamic, poverty -- yet Mimi is no drama queen and does not wallow in sorrow. But it's there. And told to us beautifully in this novel.
Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this novel.
