7/2 Bestselling author SUE MILLER discusses her new novel, THE ARSONIST Jabberwocky Bookstore is delighted to host one of our favorite authors, on Wed this week, as Independence Day falls on our customary Friday evening.

The Arsonist is the compelling story of a small town in New Hampshire shaken to its core by a series of fires set in the homes of the summer people. Suspenseful, sophisticated, rich in psychological nuance, this is vintage Sue Miller--a finely wrought novel about belonging and community, about how and where one ought to live, about what it means to live a fulilling life. This is one of our most elegant and engrossing novelists at her inimitable best, and this is sure to be a memorable evening at Jabberwocky.
“Miller eschews easy cliffhangers or narrative deceits. The momentum grows instead from her compassionate handling of these characters . . . Not all questions are answered, nor all mysteries solved, but the end of the book is imbued with the same quiet energy that’s been building throughout; it’s not happy, exactly—that would be too easy—but, in true Sue Miller fashion, it’s triumphant.”
—Elle
“With her trademark elegant prose and masterful command of subtle psychological nuance, Miller explores the tensions between the summer people and the locals in a small New Hampshire town . . . In this suspenseful and romantic novel, Miller delicately parses the value of commitment and community, the risky nature of relationships, and the yearning for meaningful work.”
