Overview
Es otoño en Maine y Bob Burgess, el abogado del pueblo, está inmerso en la investigación de un asesinato, mientras entabla una profunda amistad con la aclamada escritora Lucy Barton, que vive calle abajo con su exmarido William. Juntos, Lucy y Bob salen a pasear y hablan de sus vidas, de sus miedos y remordimientos, y de lo que podría ser o haber sido. Lucy, por su parte, conoce por fin a la mítica Olive Kitteridge, que ahora vive en una urbanización de jubilados a las afueras de la ciudad. Pasan las tardes en el apartamento de Olive contándose historias sobre personas que han conocido «vidas no registradas», las llama Olive y, de paso, llenando de significado las suyas propias.
La premiada e inimitable Elizabeth Strout regresa al pueblo de Crosby, Maine, y a su querido elenco de personajes con sus amores posibles e imposibles, para enfrentarse a la pregunta: «¿Qué sentido tiene la vida de cualquiera?».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout comes a “stunner” (People) of a novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world.
“Tell Me Everything hits like a bucolic fable. . . . A novel of moods, how they govern our personal lives and public spaces, reflected in Strout’s shimmering technique.”—The Washington Post
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, NPR, Vogue, Parade
With her remarkable insight into the human condition and silences that contain multitudes, Elizabeth Strout returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to her beloved cast of characters—Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and more—as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst, fall in love and yet choose to be apart, and grapple with the question, as Lucy Barton puts it, “What does anyone’s life mean?”
It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known—“unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them—reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.
Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”
