Oh William! : a novel / Elizabeth Strout. - London : Viking, 2021. - 240 pages ; 21 cm. - Amgash ; 3 . - Strout, Elizabeth. Amgash ; 3. .
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. 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."
Shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize.
