MixedBooklistMiller’s writing embraces a cabin fever-like feeling of despair throughout the harrowing, domestic tale of woe, while his pacing mirrors the trudge through an endless landscape of snow in the hope of reaching a brighter spring. Themes of winter and darkness are present in the forbidding landscape and also intertwined deep within each character. Sobering and dismal, this work will speak to those seeking a glimpse of the shadows created among 1960s housewives.
