The Palm House

Laura Miller and Edmund Putnam have long shared pints, gossip, and reflections by the Thames. But when Putnam loses his father and his beloved magazine to an unbearable new editor, he begins to withdraw. Laura, juggling her own troubles and a fragile life in the city, must find a way to reach him. The Palm House is a sharp, tender novel of friendship, loss, and the small mercies that keep us going.
