Strout, Elizabeth, frey50

My name is Lucy Barton : a novel / Print Elizabeth Strout. - First edition. - New York Random House 2016 - 193 pages ; 22 cm Hardback book.

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters.
