New, First Edition hard cover, 288 pp. The award-winning Maine author Elizabeth Strout continues the fictional life of Lucy Barton, in this recently published exploration of life during lockdown. Whisked away from New York to small-town coastal Maine by her well-meaning ex husband, Lucy is confronted with the loss of loved ones, the pain of isolation, but also new friendships and love which grow out of the ashes of the pandemic apocalypse. "With her trademark spare, crystalline prose--a voice infused with "intimate, fragile, desperate humanness " (The Washington Post)--Elizabeth Strout turns her exquisitely tuned eye to the inner workings of the human heart, following the indomitable heroine of My Name is Lucy Barton through the early days of the pandemic. .Rich with empathy and emotion, .she vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace and possibilities that those long quiet days can inspire."
