THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR
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 nearby in a house next to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been.
Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, 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. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”

Another beauty!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have with all this author’s work. Strout does character so well. I particularly enjoyed the exploration of older people’s concerns and questions. I don’t know any other authors that go there so well. Bravo!

The narrator rocked
This is a great book. It’s about life’s ups and downs, gossip, love, and nearly the meaning of life.

It’s a nice book and interesting but not stunning.
It’s a good enough story to keep me reading and Bob is an amazing character. Just not good enough for me to recommend to others.

Brilliant narration
I love the way Elizabeth Strout writes. This book was no exception. What was exceptional was the narrator. Loved her Olive Kitteridge.

A wonderful insight into the lives. Struggles and loves of ordinary people .
Incredibly insightful into the characters, I sort fell in love with Bob and Lucy. Loved the intertwining of characters from her other books. What a brilliant writer.

An Absolute Treasure
Lucy Barton meets Olive Ketteridge, a Jewell box of tiny interlocking stories. Elizabeth Strout could write a shopping list and make it enthralling. Wonderful on every level. Good narration.

WONDERFUL wonderful...thank you for writing!
I have listened to all four of Lucy Barton books and Olive Kitteridge and I loved them. Elizabeth Strout you are a clever writer and observer of humans and their nature,
The BEST part for me, however is the hugely talented and awesome narrator for each of these books, Kimberly Farr. Wow!
Thank you ladies for your stories in my ears over the past months.
