Louise Miller is the author of THE CITY BAKER'S GUIDE TO COUNTRY LIVING (Viking/Penguin 2016) and THE LATE BLOOMERS' CLUB (Viking/Penguin/2018). She is a professional pastry chef, 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.


“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.”

“Louise Miller knows that a great story is like a prize-winning apple pie—warm, full to the brim with character, and not too sweet.”

Erica Bauermeister, author of The Lost Art of Mixing and The School of Essential Ingredients
