O, Williame!
In this extraordinary continuation of the story of Lucy from the novel "My Name is Lucy Barton", Elizabeth Strout has once again confirmed her status as one of the most important contemporary American writers.
Lucy Barton is a writer, but her ex-husband, William, is hard to read. William, he will admit, has always been a mystery to me. It is also a mystery why the two have remained connected after many years.
When William asks her to join him on a journey to uncover a recently discovered family secret—one of those secrets that changes everything we know about those closest to us—Lucy does and is not surprised. What follows is a beautiful story about fears and insecurities, small joys and tenderness, about adulteries and other partners, parents and children. With each page we learn more about the quiet forces that hold us together - even when we drift apart.
