About this item
Best-selling novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Strout writes quiet domestic tales that resonate with readers long after the books end. These emotionally powerful and timeless novels raise sobering issues and explore uneasy relationships-mother/daughter, husband/wife, friendships-through familiar characters and serious themes involving suicide, depression, poor communication, and dark secrets. Small town life forms the backdrop for these lyrical but provocative novels that offer stunning portraits of prickly characters and satisfying, polished glimpses into ordinary lives.
