Oh William!

Written by Elizabeth Strout.
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.'
