Tthe emotional complexity of family life

The inescapable power of the past, and the memories - however painful - that bind a family together.

Author: Elizabeth Strout

About the book:

A mother comes to visit her daughter in hospital after having not seen her in many years.

Her unexpected visit forces Lucy to confront her past, uncovering long-buried memories of a profoundly impoverished childhood; and her present, as the façade of her new life in New York begins to crumble, awakening her to the reality of her faltering marriage and her unsteady journey towards becoming a writer.
