The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller is a deeply emotional and beautifully written novel that explores the complexities of love, family, and long-held secrets. Set over a single day, the story follows Elle Bishop as she confronts a life-altering decision: to stay with her devoted husband, Peter, or to pursue a future with her childhood love, Jonas, after a moment of passion the previous night. Interwoven with memories of Elle’s past, including trauma, loss, and moments of joy, the narrative delves into the choices and consequences that shape a life. With its evocative prose and vivid portrayal of a Cape Cod summer home, The Paper Palace is a poignant meditation on desire, loyalty, and the enduring pull of the past.
