Books like The world below by Sue Miller


In 1919 Maine, Georgia Rice, a caretaker of her parents and siblings, is diagnosed with tuberculosis and sent to a sanitarium, freeing her to discover a youthful world and meet a doomed lover. Decades later, in Vermont, Georgia’s granddaughter Catherine Hubbard, a twice‑divorced San Francisco schoolteacher, moves into her grandmother’s old house after her own divorce. While sorting through Georgia’s belongings, Catherine uncovers the true story of her grandmother’s life, marriage, and the misunderstandings that underpinned their shared history. Through these intertwined narratives, Sue Miller examines the enduring themes of marriage, divorce, inheritance, home ownership, and the complex bonds between mothers and daughters, set against the backdrop of rural Maine and modern Vermont.
