Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful companion book to My Name is Lucy Barton by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Elizabeth Strout - 5 stars!
Lucy Barton is now a widow after the death of her beloved, David. This book focuses on her relationship with her first husband, William, the father of her two children, and still her friend. Lucy and William still tend to rely on each other as they navigate their new lives and watch their children navigate theirs. It's also a look into the past with family secrets taking their toll on present relationships.
This is so beautifully written and such a realistic peek into the thoughts of Lucy - it will resonate with every reader at some point as we go through different phases in our lives with family and friends. I love, love, love the way these books were written - it's like Lucy is sitting across from the table talking to you about the story of her life and relationships. So many life lessons here too - especially the many things we do not know until it is too late.
Highly recommended!
