Sex, drugs and loss: many layers of a life
(20 March 2008)

“Miller’s prose is always sharp and visual without being overly descriptive. All of the descriptions, whether of people, places or emotions manage to be both prosaic and evocative… Although it had come to a natural and perfectly timed conclusion, I could happily have read much more about Pippa Lee and her secret lives.”

Observer
The case of the disintegrating girl
(6 April 2008)

“Miller is a luminous writer . . . gazing into these multiple private Pippas is like opening a series of Russian dolls, each intricately wrought, self-contained and self-revealing.”

Guardian
Beware the bent axle
(12 April 2008)

“This intriguing novel is bound to get attention…intelligent, thoughtful writing.”

Scotsman
One desperate housewife
(19 April 2008)

“Miller’s poetic imagery works so well it seems effortless . . . [she writes] with . . . a particularly feminine sensitivity and care.”

“[Miller's] sentences are often handsome, based on a wryly observant eye and emotional wisdom . . . a thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing read.”

Joseph O’Connor

“A beautifully layered and subtle novel of identity, with a wonderfully vivid sense of place and character. And it’s hesitatingly wise in all sorts of ways, as well as being a deftly constructed page-turner.”

Rozalind Dineen, Times Literary Supplement

“The “many lives” show that Pippa is not simply “the woman who loved Herb Lee”, and they put her into a vivid context, written with uncompromising confidence.”

New York Times Book Review

“A talented and highly visual writer.”

Alexandra Hemingsley, The London Paper

“Miller is a perceptive writer.”

Psychologies Magazine

“Miller’s quietly devastating examination of ageing, love and loyalty is never less than compelling.”

Kerry Fowler, Good Housekeeping

“With beautiful simplicity, Miller unravels Pippa’s past and celebrates the stirrings of something new.”
