I love Anna Quindlen. I have loved all her books and essays. Her writing is both simple and lyrical. And, her stories are good. I was excited to read her latest, Miller’s Valley, and it didn’t disappoint. This is a quiet story of a family living in an area that the government wants to flood before nature does. The ups and downs of the main character, Mimi’s, life keep you reading and interested until the end. The story wasn’t too complex and I did have a little bit of an issue with the “revelation” told in the last few pages, but it was enjoyable overall and worth a read.
