An exquisite new novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Number One New York Times bestselling author of My Name is Lucy Barton Lucy Barton is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband - and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its subtlety, of a decades-long partnership. Oh William! is a luminous novel about the myriad mysteries that make up a marriage, about discovering family secrets, late in life, that rearrange everything we think we know about those closest to us, and the way people continue to live and love, against all odds. At the heart of this story is the unforgettable, indomitable voice of Lucy Barton, who once again offers a profound, lasting reflection on the mystery of existence. ' This is the way of life,' Lucy says. ' The many things we do not know until it is too late. '
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 A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own -- Hilary Mantel A terrific writer * Zadie Smith * She gets better with each book -- Maggie O' Farrell One of America' s finest writers * Sunday Times * An absolute delight of a book -- Claire Fuller A wonderful book. It is so clever, the way it' s built up in little layers of discovery, and how every tiny thing discovered makes the story truer and more painful -- Emma Healey
