ReviewsPraise for Tell Me Everything "Strout reminds us that storytelling can be powerful; that most people's lives go unrecorded; and that paying witness to everyday events is a gift. With tenderness, honesty, intimacy, and compassion, Strout uses her cunning powers of observation to draw readers beyond the mundane to the miraculous complexities where true friendship lies . . . An absolute must-have." -- Booklist , starred review "The narrative threads make for dishy small-town drama, but even more satisfying are the insights Strout weaves into the dialogue. Late in the novel, after Olive asks Lucy the point of writing stories, she responds, 'People and the lives they lead. That's the point.' Longtime fans and newcomers alike will relish this." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Praise for Elizabeth Strout "No novelist working today has [Elizabeth] Strout's extraordinary capacity for radical empathy, for seeing the essence of people beyond reductive categories, for uniting us without sentimentality." -- The Boston Globe "Strout's understanding of the human condition is capacious." --NPR "One proof of Elizabeth Strout's greatness is the sleight of hand with which she injects sneaky subterranean power into seemingly transparent prose. Strout works in the realm of everyday speech, conjuring repetitions, gaps and awkwardness with plain language and forthright diction, yet at the same time unleashing a tidal urgency that seems to come out of nowhere even as it operates in plain sight." -- The New York Times Book Review "There is an insistent generosity in Strout's books, and a restraint that obscures the complexity of their construction." -- The Washington Post, Praise for Elizabeth Strout "No novelist working today has [Elizabeth] Strout's extraordinary capacity for radical empathy, for seeing the essence of people beyond reductive categories, for uniting us without sentimentality." -- The Boston Globe "Strout's understanding of the human condition is capacious." --NPR "One proof of Elizabeth Strout's greatness is the sleight of hand with which she injects sneaky subterranean power into seemingly transparent prose. Strout works in the realm of everyday speech, conjuring repetitions, gaps and awkwardness with plain language and forthright diction, yet at the same time unleashing a tidal urgency that seems to come out of nowhere even as it operates in plain sight." -- The New York Times Book Review "There is an insistent generosity in Strout's books, and a restraint that obscures the complexity of their construction." -- The Washington Post "Strout's prose propels the story forward with moments of startlingly poetic clarity." -- The New Yorker "The darkness of Strout's vision is leavened by her belief in moments of grace, which may arrive in a slant of light, a sudden insight, or (best of all) a connection to another human being." -- Chicago Tribune "With extraordinary economy of prose--few writers can pack so much emotion, so much detail into a single paragraph--Strout immerses us in the lives of her characters, each so authentically drawn as to be deserving of an entire novel themselves." -- The Guardian, "A generous, compassionate novel about the human need for connection, understanding and love, and the damage that occurs when those things are denied." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A rich tapestry, intricately wrought yet effortlessly realized, both suspenseful and meditative . . . Suffering and the enduring of it, the human impulse to solve and resolve confronting the fundamental unknowability of others and life's essential mystery, finding hope, love, and connection in improbable places: Strout's perpetual preoccupations are here explored with clear sighted rigor, emotional generosity, and bighearted joy." -- The Boston Globe "[Strout's] books are really about exploring characters so rich that they reveal more of themselves in book after book after book." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "No need to have read Strout's other work to fall in love with this stand-alone story that explores the quiet impact we have on each other every day."-- Real Simple "Strout covers the ghosts of marriages and the indignity of old age with her usual thoughtfulness." -- Vulture "This book may be the epitome of literary fun . . . Once again, Strout has managed to compress key histories from her earlier books into a few telling sentences, a miracle of distillation that opens this novel, and the Strout ecosystem, to new and old readers alike."-- Portland Press-Herald "Quietly wonderful and wise." -- AAR "Rejoice, Strout fans . . . the author concerns herself and her characters with the art of narrative . . . a reminder that our mistakes make up our most interesting tales." -- Los Angeles Times "Life, thank goodness, goes on in Strout's remarkably-crafted world." -- Town and Country "Strout weaves a gossamer-light web of a community's hopes and setbacks." -- The Guardian "Strout superfans will be thrilled to see the prickly protagonist of the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge . . . finally cross paths with the tender heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton and Lucy by the Sea. But if you've never cracked the spine of a Strout novel before, don't sweat it--you'll feel like a Crosby, Maine, local by the end of the first chapter." -- Oprah Daily "Another deeply human and vibrant portrait of relationships, Tell Me Everything will bring the cozy and comforting story that fans have come to expect."-- She Reads "With tenderness, honesty, intimacy, and compassion, Strout uses her cunning powers of observation to draw readers beyond the mundane to the miraculous complexities where true friendship lies. . . . An absolute must-have." -- Booklist , starred review "The narrative threads make for dishy small-town drama, but even more satisfying are the insights Strout weaves into the dialogue.

SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK - From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout comes a "stunner" ( People ) of a novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world. " Tell Me Everything hits like a bucolic fable. . . . A novel of moods, how they govern our personal lives and public spaces, reflected in Strout's shimmering technique."-- The Washington Post A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, NPR, Vogue, Parade With her remarkable insight into the human condition and silences that contain multitudes, Elizabeth Strout returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to her beloved cast of characters--Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and more--as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst, fall in love and yet choose to be apart, and grapple with the question, as Lucy Barton puts it, "What does anyone's life mean ?" It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known--"unrecorded lives," Olive calls them--reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning. Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat.
