Industry Reviews
"Vintage Miller: a quiet, subtle story of longing, loss, and the compensations that, surprisingly, satisfy and endure."
Kirkus Reviews (08/15/2001)

"Despite the title, Miller creates characters who cannot look at what lies beneath, or can only glimpse what might be there....Miller obsessively describes the details of contemporary domestic life; in the end, they become a means of preventing the reader from knowing the characters whose actions she so carefully marks. The domestic focus and emphasis on interior monologue can feel claustrophobic at times, but THE WORLD BELOW manages to frustrate the reader's expectations of knowability, and this at least makes it worth reading."
Times Literary Supplement - Rebecca Loncraine (03/22/2002)

"At 275 pages, THE WORLD BELOW is one of Miller's shorter novels, but in some ways it is her most ambitious, since the action spans seven generations....Increasingly, Sue Miller's work belongs at the top of the novel of domestic realism, of the relations between men and women, of hungry generations treading one another down but taking some pleasure in the interplay. Her achievement is to have portrayed this in language that for all its incidental poetry makes us also feel that the poetry isn't what matters...."
New York Times Book Review - William H. Pritchard (10/07/2001)
