THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR
It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a house next to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been.
Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – “unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.
Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”
'Stunning, deeply felt and profoundly intelligent' Guardian
'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own' Hilary Mantel
'A terrific writer' Zadie Smith
'Strout’s ability to reveal the wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish' Telegraph
OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK: 'A beautiful read reminding us that there is extraordinary love in ordinary actions' Oprah Winfrey

Love is love. This is the theme of this no. I do not know what else I can say about it.

Broken people
Patricide, matricide, suicide, lies, deceit, dysfunctional families, bodily functions, old age, dementia and marking pants - all human life is here. Typical Strout style read by the ever brilliant Kimberly Farr.

Elderly gossips
Really enjoyed all the old and familiar cast of characters, a little bit of a who dunnit story line, but mainly a good gossip with old friends.

Brilliant as usual!
As far as I’m concerned Elizabeth Strout can do no wrong …. This is a round up of many well-loved familiar characters from her other novels all coming together. In this gathering, yet more new tales are cleverly woven into the mix to form a glorious final tapestry.

Brilliant writing
Olive Kitteridge and Lucy were my favourite parts of the novel. Elizabeth Strout’s writing is like being g held in a safe pair of hands. Her use of prose is outstanding. I loved this book and would highly recommend it. Veronica

“Love is love”
In this book Lucy Barton meets my favourite character of all time, Olive Ketteridge, and they swap seemingly banal stories of people they have known. The backing track to this is Lucy’s almost affair with Bob Burgess. At the same time Bob is involved in defending a lonely child like man who may have murdered his mother. It sounds such a simple tale but it is anything but. I loved it and I am about to re listen as I know I will have missed and forgotten so much detail.

Perfect
Another classic from Elizabeth Strout. Hope we get another soon. In the meantime I shall content myself by rereading the Lucy Barton and Olive Kitteridge series.
