Description
This hopeful, healing novel by Elizabeth Strout explores new friendships, old loves and the human desire to leave a mark on the world. In autumn in Maine, town lawyer Bob Burgess becomes involved in a murder investigation while defending a lonely man accused of killing his mother. He also forms a deep friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a seaside house with her ex-husband, William. Lucy and Bob walk together and talk about their lives, fears, regrets and what might have been. Lucy is eventually introduced to Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. The two women spend afternoons telling each other stories about the people they have known, bringing these “unrecorded lives” back to life and giving them meaning. The novel explores how relationships help sustain us and the many forms that love can take.
