The book is part of The Booker Prize 2022 Longlist
Lucy Barton is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband – and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its subtlety, of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership.
A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own – Hilary Mantel
A terrific writer – Zadie Smith
This is meticulously observed writing, full of probing psychological insight. Lucy Barton is one of literature’s immortal characters-brittle, damaged, unravelling, vulnerable and, most of all, ordinary-like us all – Booker Prize Judges
