Miller's Valley: A Novel by Anna Quindlen

Miller's Valley is a work for fiction but it's written as if it were a memoir and a delightful coming-of-age story. The narrator, Mimi Miller, describes her life, her farm, her friends, and her family as she grew up in Miller's Valley. There is certainly some family conflict and several secrets that will leave you wondering.

Anna Quindlen is an easy author to read. Her writing is clean and clear, and she creates characters you will love. Several online reviewers labelled this a quiet novel, and I suppose that's true. However, I found the plot to move easily as we watch the different characters and their changes and growth. Recommend. - June
