Elizabeth Strout once again scores with her latest book of delicately interwoven stories. A companion to Lucy Barton, this novel futher explores the relationships of the townspeople left behind in the small town of Amgash, Illinois after Lucy leaves. Lucy's presence is felt through out the tale. These simple, but heart breakingly beautiful stories are testament to the author's skill in using simple prose and elegant language to convey the small and larger triumphs and tragedies of ordinary folk. Elizabeth Strout is a master of the genre.
