SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2022 THE TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER The Pulitzer Prize-winning, Booker-longlisted,
bestselling author returns to her beloved heroine Lucy Barton in a
luminous novel about love, loss, and the family secrets that can
erupt and bewilder us at any point in life Lucy Barton is a
successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of
her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A
surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first
husband - and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante.
Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the
painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built
with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its
subtlety, of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership. Oh
William! captures the joy and sorrow of watching children grow up
and start families of their own; of discovering family secrets,
late in life, that alter everything we think we know about those
closest to us; and the way people live and love, against all odds.
At the heart of this story is the unforgettable, indomitable voice
of Lucy Barton, who once again offers a profound, lasting
reflection on the mystery of existence. 'This is the way of life,'
Lucy says. 'The many things we do not know until it is too late.'
'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her
own' Hilary Mantel 'A terrific writer' Zadie Smith 'She gets better
with each book' Maggie O'Farrell 'One of America's finest writers'
Sunday Times 'This is meticulously observed writing, full of
probing psychological insight. Lucy Barton is one of literature's
immortal characters-brittle, damaged, unravelling, vulnerable and,
most of all, ordinary-like us all' Booker Prize Judges LUCY'S STORY
