Description

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout returns with a poignant novel that captures the profound complexities of human connection amidst global upheaval. When the world is forced into lockdown, divorced couple Lucy and William find themselves unexpectedly reunited, navigating the isolation and uncertainty of the early pandemic together. Through Strout's signature spare and crystalline prose, the story delves into the enduring power of love, the ache of loss, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. It's a deeply resonant exploration of how we find hope and meaning even when life feels like it's falling apart, focusing on the intimate bonds that sustain us.
