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.

Joseph O' Connor

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

Poignant, funny and wise . . .

FT

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

Sunday Telegraph

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.
Olivia Laing

Observer

Miller's astute, beautifully nuanced novel explores the unpredictable consequences of choosing to live a safe, but emotionally compromised, life.
Eithne Farry

Daily Mail

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.
Rozalind Dineen

TLS

Miller writes with a natural poetic flair that's considered and free from affectation.

Easy Living

With beautiful simplicity, Miller unravels Pippa's past and celebrates the stirrings of something new.
Kerry Fowler

Good Housekeeping

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.
Aline O'Conner

Irish Sunday Independent

A captivating read

New York Times Book Review

PRAISE FOR PERSONAL VELOCITY: Miller tackles her topics, and ours, with wisdom, sophistication and guts.

Glamour

PRAISE FOR PERSONAL VELOCITY: Rebecca Miller's debut story collection is a series of eye-opening portraits of women... humane, always honest and always entertaining.
Mark Rozzo

Los Angeles Times

If I were still teaching high school English, I'd order class sets of Rebecca Miller's Personal Velocity. I'd want my students to follow Ms. Miller's journey into the human heart. I'd want them to see the power of simplicity in her writing. My students would surely realize that Personal Velocity is about them and their families, and that this remarkable writer reveals what is under our noses. And isn't that the gift of the true artist?
Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes Miller's quietly devastating examination of ageing, love and loyalty is never less than compelling.

Psychologies Magazine

Miller's poetic imagery works so well it seems effortless . . . [she writes] with . . . a particularly feminine sensitivity and care.
Lesley McDowell

Scotsman

Vivacious and intense . . . her psychology is often penetrating . . . the writing is rich in striking images.
Mary Flanagan

Independent

This compulsively readable novel shows real insight into the lives - and roles - of women. Miller writes with a rare mix of warmth, veracity and wisdom.
Kate Thomson

Books Quarterly

An original voice, with intelligent, spare prose and highly visual imagery . . . a darkly comic story.
Kate Thomson

Books Quarterly

This is a beautiful, cleanly written novel that explores the natures of love, both romantic and familial, and examines the complex emotional choices we make about who we are and how we live. Miller is the daughter of playwright Arthur of course, but the richness of this book demonstrates she is no mere fragment of his talent.
