Louise Miller
Wellesley High School Author: Louise Miller (1989)
Professional pastry chef Louise Miller is the author of the charming novels The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living (Viking/Penguin 2016) and The Late Bloomers’ Club (Viking/Penguin/2018). She is also an art school dropout, an amateur naturalist, an old-time banjo player, an obsessive moviegoer, a meditation enthusiast and an avid flower gardener. Louise writes and bakes in Boston, MA, where she lives with her partner and an assortment of cats.
Elle Magazine says of her writing: “Louise Miller is an actual pastry chef, and that’s why her debut novel feels like sinking into a delicious genoise: beautifully light and rich… Comforting without being cozy, this is escapist fiction for those who want a quieter—and tastier—life.” And The New York Times Book Review notes: “Miller elevates the story by turning it into a Pinterest fantasy of rural America… [Her] visions of bucolic Vermont landscapes, cinnamon-scented kitchens and small-town friendliness make this reverie of country life an appealing one.”
