“Filled with secrets, love, lies and a summer beach house. What more could you ask?”—Parade

“A deeply emotional love story…the unraveling of secrets, lies and a very complex love triangle.” —Reese Witherspoon

“[An] irresistible placement of a complicated family in a bewitching place.” —The New York Times

A story of summer, secrets, love, and lies: in the course of a singular day on Cape Cod, one woman must make a life-changing decision that has been brewing for decades.


“This house, this place, knows all my secrets.”

It is a perfect August morning, and Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, awakens at “The Paper Palace”—the family summer place which she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their spouses chatted away inside. Now, over the next twenty-four hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course of their lives. As Heller colors in the experiences that have led Elle to this day, we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its complexity. Tender yet devastating, The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and dignity, the legacies of abuse, and the crimes and misdemeanors of families.

…It has quite some lengths… the development of the character is interesting, however some parts are a bit tedious. The speaker makes up for most of that though. I’d still recommend listening if you have time on your hands and are into in-depths character studies.

Interesting story, but…

I liked this audio book very much. If you’re into dark family secrets and love stories, that one could be for you.

Gripping and moving story

Die Geschichte ist gut und mitreißend erzählt, die Charaktere sehr lebendig herausgearbeitet. Aber das Buch braucht dringend eine Triggerwarnung für Kindesmissbrauch.

gute Erzählung mit schwierigen Themen

The book offers a very enjoyable read. Written in a manner that reminds of classic literature, the story follows the main character on a journey throughout her own life. I can wholeheartedly recommend it and will look for more books from the same author.

Empathetic, well written, a novel classic

I have been recommended „The Paper Palace“ on audible, in bookstores, by friends. The concept sounded fascinating, finally a different type of woman‘s story. But honestly, two hours in, I couldn’t care less about these people or their dysfunctional families. Granted, the book offers some astute observations, but apart from that: it gives me nothing. There is some disdain for women at work here, all women in the book are awful - but not interesting enough to make me care.

I don’t get the hype
