The Paper Palace is Miranda Cowley Heller’s debut novel, published in 2021. It became one of the most talked-about books of its year, landing on bestseller lists and earning a spot in Reese Witherspoon’s book club. The story takes place over a single day at a Cape Cod estate, but the narrative reaches back across decades.
The novel deals with love, memory, and the weight of family history. Heller wrote it over the course of several years while working in television, and the controlled structure of the book reflects that background. It remains her only novel to date.
