Her mother, to whom she hasnt spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucys childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucys 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 BartonA quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words.-The Boston GlobeIt is Lucys gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her mothers shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful.-San Francisco ChronicleA 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.-NewsdaySpectacular . . . 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.-Lily King, The Washington PostAn aching, illuminating look at mother-daughter devotion.-People\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAutographed copy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52272846307616,"sku":"NEW1400067693","price":32.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61mNMT9zGqL.jpg?v=1788071290","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/my-name-is-lucy-barton-a-novel-1400067693","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
