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 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION • 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.” Read more

  • Beautifully human
Format: Hardcover
This is one of those books that doesn’t rely on big drama, but somehow still pulls you in completely. Tell Me Everything: Oprah's Book Club: A Novel is all about relationships, small moments, and the inner lives of everyday people, and it does it so beautifully. If you like character-driven stories that are more about feelings than fast-paced plot, this is such a meaningful read. Quietly powerful and really stays with you. ... show more

  • Another visit with Elizabeth Strout's characters
Format: Kindle
This book may not appeal to those who need a strong plot. Much of it takes place in the minds of the very well-executed characters. Some big things happen, and some big things do not, just like life. The themes here are connection, friendship, family, introspection, memory, and all kinds of love. There are probably more! For this book is like a scrapbook filled with people and the events that make up their lives. It also takes on some of the very large questions of God, faith, and the meaning and purpose of all of our individual lives. I enjoyed it and intend to read the other books Strout wrote about these characters. I have only read 2, so I have more to look forward to. ... show more

  • If you love character-driven novels that focus on conversation, this is the perfect book
Format: Kindle
Elizabeth Strout has the unique ability to make the ordinary seem extraordinary. The characters she has created over the years are probably stereotypes in some sense since they represent typical people in a small town in Maine—a minister, lawyer, writer, police chief, schoolteacher, and others. However, the introspective conversations she creates among her characters are amazingly representative of every human being and are relatable on multiple levels. I've read almost all of Strout's books, and along with a few other authors, I feel as though I have lived my adult life and grown through some of the perspectives of Olive Kitteridge, Lucy Barton, and the Burgess men. These familiar characters all appear in Tell Me Everything. Since they are all aging, the issues of dealing with adult children, failing health, and loneliness are addressed with poise, humor, and dignity. A central theme in this novel is "unrecorded lives." In her nineties, Olive Kitteridge wishes to tell stories about people to Lucy Barton, a writer. Lucy listens to her stories and relays a few of her own. As they ponder the meaning of the stories, it becomes apparent that all lives are noteworthy and chance encounters with unknown people can be significant. Storytelling, so much a part of our culture, is exalted in this novel, and those who can listen and learn from others' stories are the most likable characters. In conversations Attorney Bob Burgess has with his brother Jim, his wife Margaret, his ex-wife Pam, his client Matt, and his friend, Lucy Barton, the reader gains tremendous insight into various personalities and human needs. There is a detailed discussion about narcissism, gaslighters, and other character traits which cause consternation. In addition, some relationships include linchpins and cycles of abuse. There are discussions of alcoholism, suicide, patricide, and matricide. Strout's expressions when giving her characters words exemplify her understanding of the human condition. I loved when someone was referred to as a sin eater—they "eat" other people's sins and make themselves miserable. There are numerous depictions of "broken" people, those who need a good hug and those who just need to be heard. So much of real life is conveyed in Strout's fictional yet realistic characters. ... show more

  • Typical Elizabeth Strout
Format: Hardcover
Pretty good book. Typical charming Strout, with her recurring cast of characters and some interesting insights into human nature.

  • Great book-enjoyed the story and writing.
Format: Hardcover
Loved the book. Good writing, good story, interesting characters. A book for mature adults--no gratuitous violence and similar themes popular today.

  • Another great character driven novel
Format: Kindle
A quiet, tender story about love, loss, and connection in small-town Maine. Strout’s writing is simple but powerful, and her characters, Lucy, Bob, and Olive feel like old friends. Not a fast-paced read, but one that lingers with you in the best way.

  • Love Is Love
Format: Kindle
We meet many of the author’s, Elizabeth Strout, family in this book. I call them family even though they are not related to Elizabeth. But, they are figments of Strout’s imagination. They all have great qualities, and the ones we read the most, Olive, Lucy and Bob reveal their true selves. What is the point of life? The characters ask, What is the point of life, of this story? Read along and you will make your own decisions. Men, women, hate, sex, love, and every emotion is here. There are many stories, and they do, indeed, have much to tell us. As usual Strout gives us a remarkable book. I am in my 80’s and have read thousands of books, I am a constant reader. Elizabeth Strout is my favorite author. She grabs me and pulls me in. I am in mourning when I have finished her latest book. Each book is stand alone, but you would be wise to start with her first book and work your way through to garner the most info about the characters. I envy you. . You will not meet another author like Elizabeth Strout. Recommended Highly. prisrob 09-19-2924 ... show more
