[13] In the Guardian, Marcel Theroux said "Independence Square made me think of a 21st-century Graham Greene novel, an absorbing thriller informed by emotional intelligence and a deep understanding of geopolitics".
[15] Miller's first book, published in 2006, was The Earl of Petticoat Lane, a family memoir about "immigration, class, the Blitz, love, memory and the underwear industry.
[17] In the Sunday Times, Susie Boyt called the book "family history of the best sort, the subject matter vastly appealing, the writing intelligent and clear...At the heart of this memoir looms the extraordinary figure of Miller's grandfather, whom the author presents with a novelist's sensitivity and power”.
[18] In the New Statesman, Linda Grant said "there are three good reasons to buy and read this book: first, it must be the best-documented account of the class trajectory of British Jewry in the 20th century; second, it throws valuable light on contemporary debates about immigration and asylum... and third, it is a fantastically interesting and well-written story”.
[22] Miller has written for the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Guardian, Observer, Daily Telegraph and Spectator, among other publications.
In 2014 "Midnight in Nowheresville",[23] his article about spending 24 hours at a motorway service station, won Travel Story of the Year at the Foreign Press Association Media Awards.
