Reviews
Praise for Elizabeth Strout's  My Name Is Lucy Barton "There is not a scintilla of sentimentality in this exquisite novel. Instead, in its careful words and vibrating silences,  My Name Is Lucy Barton  offers us a rare wealth of emotion, from darkest suffering to . . . simple joy." -- The New York Times Book Review "Spectacular . . .  My Name Is Lucy Barton  is smart and cagey in every way. It is both a book of withholdings and a book of great openness and wisdom. . . . [Strout] is in supreme and magnificent command of this novel at all times." -- The Washington Post " My Name Is Lucy Barton  is a short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds. . . . It evokes these connections in a style so spare, so pure and so profound the book almost seems to be a kind of scripture or sutra, if a very down-to-earth and unpretentious one." -- Newsday "A quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words." -- The Boston Globe "Sensitive, deceptively simple . . . It is Lucy's gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her mother's shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful. . . .  My Name Is Lucy Barton --like all of Strout's fiction--is more complex than it first appears, and all the more emotionally persuasive for it." -- San Francisco Chronicle
Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss in this new work of fiction by #1 bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout. Winner of The Story Prize - A Washington Post and New York Times Notable Book - One of USA Today 's top 10 books of the year Recalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others. Here are two sisters: One trades self-respect for a wealthy husband while the other finds in the pages of a book a kindred spirit who changes her life. The janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help; a grown daughter longs for mother love even as she comes to accept her mother's happiness in a foreign country; and the adult Lucy Barton (the heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton, the author's celebrated New York Times bestseller) returns to visit her siblings after seventeen years of absence. Reverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors. Praise for Anything Is Possible "When Elizabeth Strout is on her game, is there anybody better? . . . This is a generous, wry book about everyday lives, and Strout crawls so far inside her characters you feel you inhabit them. . . . This is a book that earns its title. Try reading it without tears, or wonder." -- USA Today (four stars) "Readers who loved My Name Is Lucy Barton . . . are in for a real treat. . . . Strout is a master of the story cycle form. . . . She paints cumulative portraits of the heartache and soul of small-town America by giving each of her characters a turn under her sympathetic spotlight." --NPR "These stories return Strout to the core of what she does more magnanimously than anyone else." -- The Washington Post "In this wise and accomplished book, pain and healing exist in perpetual dependence, like feuding siblings." -- The Wall Street Journal, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss in this "compulsively readable" ( San Francisco Chronicle ) novel from #1 bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout "This book, this writer, are magnificent."--Ann Patchett Winner of The Story Prize - A Washington Post and New York Times Notable Book - One of USA Today 's top 10 books of the year Recalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others.
