My love for these characters continues ..."new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world." A literary fiction that is simple, but elegantly written about every day life and the issues that are bestowed upon us.
When Lucy's friendship with Bob strengthens, they take long walks and discuss their fears, regrets, friendships and what could have been. A common question reigns throughout the book "What does anyone's life mean?"
The setting is Crosby, Maine. When Lucy moves with her ex-husband William to Maine, she admires the community and the feel of the people as they encompass her as a writer. She befriends Olive who wants to tell her story to Lucy to write about. Bob begins a murder investigation when a man is accused of killing his mother...the same man who is obsessed with his friendship with Lucy.
If you haven't started your journey with this author, you need to. Beginning with her first book as you can see this is #5...so worth it. The characters fold perfectly into our lives with thoughts we have experienced with others and our way to fit in.
"Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."
Thank you NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group and Elizabeth Strout for this outstanding series in exchange for my honest review.
