[tps_title]5. The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller[/tps_title]
The Paper Palace tells the story of Elle Bishop, a young mother, who is haunted by memories of the past in ‘The Paper Palace’ – the decaying summer camp in the back woods of Cape Cod, where her family has spent every summer. The novel starts with a sudden passionate encounter she had the night before, with her childhood friend, as her husband and mother entertained guests inside. The story then toggles back and forth between the story that unfolds over twenty-four hours and her childhood memories of The Paper Palace, unveiling family legacies of love, lies and secrets, the disintegration of the fabric of her family. Elle, ultimately has to decide between the life she has created with her husband Peter and her love for her childhood friend, Jonas.
