Maureen Corrigan  NPR’s Fresh Air Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favorite 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  author of The Dutch House I would like to say a few things about my first husband 
William. Lucy Barton is a writer  but her ex-husband  William  remains a hard man to read.
William  she confesses  has always been a mystery to me. Another mystery is why the two have
remained connected after all these years. They just are. So Lucy is both surprised and not
surprised when William asks her to join him on a trip to investigate a recently uncovered
family secret—one of those secrets that rearrange everything we think we know about the people
closest to us. What happens next is nothing less than another example of what Hilary Mantel has
called Elizabeth Strout’s perfect attunement to the human condition.” There are fears and
insecurities  simple joys and acts of tenderness  and revelations about affairs and other
spouses  parents and their children. On every page of this exquisite novel we learn more about
the quiet forces that hold us together—even after we’ve grown apart. At the heart of this story
is the indomitable voice of Lucy Barton  who offers a profound  lasting reflection on the very
nature of existence. This is the way of life ” Lucy says: the many things we do not know until
it is too late.” ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review  The
