Tell Me Everything
Elizabeth Strout gathers Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, and lawyer Bob Burgess in a small Maine town around a local mystery.
Elizabeth Strout brings together characters from across her novels in the town of Crosby, Maine. The lawyer Bob Burgess takes on the defense of a man accused of killing his mother, while striking up a deep friendship with the writer Lucy Barton, who trades stories with the aging Olive Kitteridge. Warm and wise, the novel is about connection, aging, and the unrecorded stories of ordinary lives.

It’s lovely to see Elizabeth Strout receiving so many garlands as her career goes on. I think, to begin with, these books were seen as ‘easy reading,’ but her literary cachet has grown.
