4 stars
I am a big fan of Elizabeth Strout and her writing so it was no surprise how much I loved this book. Lucy Barton is in the hospital after an appendicitis left her with a life endangering infection. While stuck in her hospital bed, her long estranged mother comes to sit by her bedside and reminisce about their past. This novel is divided into very short chapters that are Lucy's memories which works well with the slow moving, beautifully written language. Strout creates characters that are memorable even if they are only mentioned briefly which is one of the many reasons that I love her work. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
