This is an exquisite novel! I have read it twice since the first time I read it and I plan on reading it many, many times more! The writing is just luxuriously divine, the plot intensely captivating, the characters are full of life and detail and are utterly relatable!.

'The Paper Palace' is the pinnacle of excellent writing. I loved everything about it. It's so good, it may have just knocked 'Wuthering Heights; off the top spot of my "Books of the Millenium" charts. It is a truly heartfelt novel, pulling at your heartstrings and not letting go until you are emotionally spent.

FIve stars for this brilliant novel. I anticipate more from this author with bated breath.

Thank you as always to the author, Miranda Cowley Heller, the publishers and Netgalley for this free copy in exchange for my honest review.

A dramatic start to this novel had me gripped from the start as I wondered how events would unfold. It didn't disappoint. We followed Elle as she battled with her attraction to a friend from the past against her seemingly stable and happy marriage. It brilliantly illustrates the tensions between partners, teenagers and parents balanced against incidents which happened long ago, but that still have a lasting impact on so many lives. Secrets kept with the best of intentions continue to haunt Elle as the family gather together at their regular summer spot. I am still not sure I understood her final choice. With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a story about love, fate, and the circumstances that govern them both. I highly enjoyed the book and identified with all the characters. I highly recommend this one.
