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.
ELIZABETH STROUT is the author of several novels, including: Abide with Me, a national bestseller and BookSense pick, and Amy and Isabelle, which won the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize, and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize in England. In 2009 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her book Olive Kitteridge. Her short stories have been published in a number of magazines, including The New Yorker. She teaches at the Master of Fine Arts program at Queens University of Charlotte.
A really quiet book. And yet, a wealth of palpable emotions, and with power. Last time I read something so deceitfully peaceful was "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro (And then he won the Nobel Prize). And Strout is a Pulitzer winner herself. The la...

讀的時候總會聯想到Educated 貧窮起點與通過書本拓寬的視野是共同之處 溫吞水文風 盡管母女之間的動態和主人公的背景都有弦外之音可以挖掘 好奇舞颱劇改編會具象化還是抽象化錶現人物迴憶 Laura Linney應該是很閤適的!
评分情節比其他幾本簡單
评分看完先去仔細瞭解瞭下作者私生活,結果發現並不像書中文學老師說的那樣,“作傢一輩子隻能寫一個故事”。全程代入Allison Janney,最後一次去看母親那段看哭。結局太飄,感覺想到哪兒就寫哪兒。全程一直在想《Tony & Susan》,但其實沒什麼明顯聯係。
评分中年婦女寫的書真是看得無聊到暈暈欲睡
评分Anything Is Possible的前篇,Lucy為何不願迴傢,為何不愛她媽,為何要背井離鄉前往NYC,不就因為童年不堪,被太薄對待,都能在這一本書裏找到答案。語言簡單但也囉嗦,作者本人的文風如斯。Style of Elizabeth Strout.
