#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE - A simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter in this "spectacular" (The Washington Post) novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys.
"An aching, illuminating look at mother-daughter devotion."--People A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, Minneapolis Star Tribune, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Miami Herald, The Guardian Slate, BookPage, LibraryReads, Kirkus Reviews Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy'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 Lucy'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.
