LUCY BY THE SEA - ELIZABETH STROUT GEBUNDEN

NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of  My Name is Lucy Barton
and  Olive Kitteridge  comes a “poised and moving” ( Vogue ) novel about a divorced couple
stuck together during lockdown—and the love  loss  despair  and hope that animate us even as
the world seems to be falling apart.    “Strout’s understanding of the human condition is
capacious.”—NPR    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review  The New Yorker 
Oprah Daily  Entertainment Weekly  San Francisco Chronicle  NPR  Time  The Washington Post  The
Christian Science Monitor  PopSugar  She Reads   With her trademark spare  crystalline prose—a
voice infused with “intimate  fragile  desperate humanness” ( The Washington Post )—Elizabeth
Strout turns her exquisitely tuned eye to the inner workings of the human heart  following the
indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton through the early days of the pandemic.  As a
panicked world goes into lockdown  Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and
bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again  off-again friend 
William. For the next several months  it’s just Lucy  William  and their complex past together
in a little house nestled against the moody  swirling sea.  Rich with empathy and emotion  Lucy
by the Sea vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation  as well as the
hope  peace  and possibilities that those long  quiet days can inspire. At the heart of this
story are the deep human connections that unite us even when we’re apart—the pain of a beloved
daughter’s suffering  the emptiness that comes from the death of a loved one  the promise of a
new friendship  and the comfort of an old  enduring love.   Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio
Prize
