She read
Fans of Elizabeth Strout will be delighted with this new collection of loosely linked stories. All of the characters have in common that they were familiar with the young Lucy Barton (My Name is Lucy Barton) as she grew up in a small midwestern town and now weave in and out of each others’ lives. Strout is a gifted writer whose characters are beautifully drawn and her poignant observations of life are right on. This book can be enjoyed on its own, but I think it my be more meaningful if one has read My Name is Lucy Barton.
