About the Book

THE TOP TEN 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.''Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers, so the fact that Oh William! may well be my favorite of her books is a mathematical equation for joy. The depth, complexity, and love contained in these pages is a miraculous achievement' Ann Patchett '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'Miraculous' Guardian'Brilliant' Sunday Times'A majestic book. I do not know any other writer who can portray life in this way' Rachel Joyce'I cannot get Lucy Barton out of my head' The Times 'An absolute delight of a book' Claire Fuller'A wonderful book' Emma Healey Review One proof ofElizabeth Strout's greatness is the sleight of hand with which she injects sneaky subterranean power into seemingly transparent prose.Strout works in the realm of everyday speech, conjuring repetitions, gaps and awkwardness with plain language and forthright diction, yet at the same time unleashinga tidal urgency that seems to come out of nowhere even as it operates in plain sight -- Jennifer Egan New York TimesStrout isnot only mercilessly funny on the page, she's also unerringly precise about the long-term effects of loneliness, parental neglect and betrayal . . . The final scene between William and Lucy has been carouselling in my mind for days now . . . devastating and vital, bleak and tender Sunday TimesWhat sets Strout's work apart is her characterisation . . . Long on empathy while steering clear of sentimentality, her prose bears the minerality of a crisp white wine, with a seeming simplicity that belies its profound power FTA very good novel, deft when it needs to be and ambivalent where certainty would be facile. Itscelebration of the ungraspable riddles and sudden judgments of real life becomes compulsive. . . .I cannot get Lucy Barton out of my head The Times[Strout] isa novelist of the inner sensibility, and what makes herso compellingly readableis her rendering of the ebb and flow of emotion and impression, of the stream of consciousness between past and present that makes Lucy cousin to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway Daily TelegraphStrout is very good at parsing the contradictory elements that make up our relationship with ourselves and the lives we lead, and the extent to which these elements exist in a state of flux.Such a pleasure to read. And so very wise Daily MailStrout gets you to reassess every relationship you've ever had while you can still do something about it SpectatorElizabeth Strout is one of my very favorite writers, so the fact th

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
