About This Book

"Allusions to the story of Sylvia Plath and her husband, poet Ted Hughes, combine with details from the Gothic novel tradition and witty pop culture references to create a fascinating tapestry."—Utne

"[A] heartbreaking and vastly original tale of literary intrigue."—Time Out NY

Miniatures, a 2003 ALA Notable Book, is now available in paperback! Written in a style reminiscent of the Brontë sisters, Proust, and Mary Shelley, this is the haunting story of a young girl in Ireland, two reclusive writers, a mysterious suicide, and the bundle of hidden letters that tie them all together.

Norah Labiner, named one of the ten "novelists who are changing the way we see the world" by Utne, lives in Minneapolis.
