Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasnâ€™t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucyâ€™s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucyâ€™s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.

Praise for My Name Is Lucy Barton

â€œA quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words.â€â€”The Boston Globe

â€œIt is Lucyâ€™s gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her motherâ€™s shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful.â€â€”San Francisco Chronicle

â€œA short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds . . . It evokes these connections in a style so spare, so pure and so profound the book almost seems to be a kind of scripture or sutra, if a very down-to-earth and unpretentious one.â€â€”Newsday

â€œSpectacular . . . Smart and cagey in every way. It is both a book of withholdings and a book of great openness and wisdom. . . . [Strout] is in supreme and magnificent command of this novel at all times.â€â€”Lily King,Â The Washington Post

â€œAn aching, illuminating look at mother-daughter devotion.â€â€”People
