Reviews
"Ms. Miller not only conveys the subjectivity of all experience but also succeeds in creating a haunting chamber-music piece with many different solos. . . . Its power grows from Ms. Miller's intimate understanding of her characters . . . and from her Chekhovian understanding of missed connections, lost opportunities, and closely held memories that mutate slowly over time. . . . Ms. Miller gives us a knowing meditation upon the acts of alchemy and theft that constitute an artist's work: a meditation that sheds light on her own craft, so meticulously showcased in this novel." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Miller's exquisite new novel, The Lake Shore Limited, is so sophisticated and thoughtful that it should either help redeem the term 'women's literature' or free her from it once and for all. . . . Gorgeously drawn and told with stark honesty. . . . Intellectual and emotional . . . profound and unsettling. . . . [A] miracle." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post "Quintessential Miller, touching on the themes that have animated her fiction for the past quarter-century: the potency of sex; the failure of men and women to understand each other; the hunger for a different life." -Ligaya Mishan, The New York Times Book Review "Miller has written gripping novels that shrewdly tap the domestic zeitgeist. Lake Shore, set between snowy Vermont and brick-lined Boston, continues the trend, exploring the fragility of love-and life-in the post-9/11 era. . . . [A] play-within-the-novel adds a layer of complexity to Miller's latest tale, another graceful, poignant romance that resonates with the times." -Joanna Powell, People "With the surety of a master, Miller reveals the intersection of love and fate." - Good Housekeeping "An ensemble novel about love, loss, and the discontents of middle age." - Elle (Fiction pick of the month, The Elle's Lettres Readers Prize) "An ambitious exploration of the interaction between choice and random chance in human relationships. . . . Miller raises tantalizing questions about the ethics of love." - Kirkus Reviews "Miller's take on post-9/11 America is fascinating and perfectly balanced with her writerly meditations on the destructiveness of trauma and loss, and the creation and experience of art." - Publishers Weekly "Expertly written, this novel plumbs the dark depths of grief and guilt but emerges into the light of self-forgiveness and freedom. Recommended." - Jyna Scheeren, Library Journal "As the narrative among four different perspectives, Miller ever so slowly builds to a deeply affecting series of emotional revelations. Among the many heady themes Miller tackles-the joys and burdens of making art, the wish for a different, unencumbered life-is the relationships between men and women that elicit her most piercing insights and elegant turns of phrase. . . . An eloquent, layered meditation on the complexities of the human heart." -Joanne Wilkinson, Booklist From the Hardcover edition., "Ms. Miller not only conveys the subjectivity of all experience but also succeeds in creating a haunting chamber-music piece with many different solos. . . .

Synopsis
Four unforgettable characters beckon readers into this spellbinding new novel from the author of the explosive "New York Times" bestseller "The Senator's Wife." Miller's latest is a tour de force about the dislocations wrought in our lives by accidents of fate and time, and about how we try to make peace with whom we become in the face of circumstances beyond our control.
