Meni jo neljäs #ElizabethStrout 'in kirja putkeen. Kun flunssa hellittää, lähden kirjastoon lainaamaan lisää. Aika valkoista ja keskiluokkaista toki, vaikka useiden hahmojen taustat ovat hyvin vaatimattomat. Koronakaranteeni, trumpismi, etniset karsinoinnit, lapsuuden traumat kuvataan hyvin, samoin vanhenemisen riemut (rahapulaa lukuunottamatta). Rahapulan puuttuminen on tosiaan puute, aika iso. #kirja #vanhuus #Amerikka #eastcoast

Just finished #tellmeeverything by #elizabethstrout & have mixed feelings. While I thoroughly enjoyed the story’s philosophical bent, I found its voice a bit odd as it was very similar to the voice used in Strout’s other #lucybarton novels, which were 1st person. #tellmeeverything was in 3rd person, so I think its voice should have been different.

One novel of hers I feel was overlooked &, besides #olivekitteridge, is probably my favorite is #AbideWithMe. Highly recommend!

I've often thought I should catch up with all the inhabitants of Elizabeth Strout's literary world. (So many books, so little time . . .). Susan has kept up with all of them, as is evident in her appreciation of Strout's latest #novel .

Just finished Lucy by the Sea by #ElizabethStrout, the last of the #LucyBarton series. Set, and I guess written, in lockdown. Not convinced either is conducive to good art. Didn't enjoy as much as the first installment. My main thoughts were that it is striking that Lucy, despite her success as a writer, has little agency over her own life and where it goes. And perhaps that shows us the effects of earlier poverty and poor parenting are hard to shake off. #bookToot #bookstodon #keefsreads

Immersing myself once more in the small town world of Elizabeth Strout.

“Anything is Possible” tells the story of Lucy Barton returning to her hometown of rural Amgash, Illinois. After seventeen years of absence, Lucy is finally visiting the siblings she left behind.”

The second book in her Amgash sequence.
