具体描述
A new book by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout is cause for celebration. Her bestselling novels, including Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys, have illuminated our most tender relationships. Now, in My Name Is Lucy Barton, this extraordinary writer shows how a simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the most tender relationship of all—the one between mother and daughter.
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. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.

中年妇女写的书真是看得无聊到晕晕欲睡
评分感觉有点有气无力。
评分Lonely and sad.
评分如果不是路程长，把有声书一次听完了，大约就永远翻不完的一本小说。没有很强的情节性，只是细腻的情感，大约对我而言还是太过女性化了……
评分每个作家其实“都只有一个故事要说”。(2019.9.14@ sz)
