À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of My Name is Lucy Barton and Olive Kitteridge comes a “poised and moving” (Vogue) novel about a divorced couple stuck together during lockdown—and the love, loss, despair, and hope that animate us even as the world seems to be falling apart.

“Strout’s understanding of the human condition is capacious.”—NPR

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Time, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, PopSugar, She Reads

With her trademark spare, crystalline prose—a voice infused with “intimate, fragile, desperate humanness” (The Washington Post)—Elizabeth Strout turns her exquisitely tuned eye to the inner workings of the human heart, following the indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton through the early days of the pandemic.

As a panicked world goes into lockdown, Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again, off-again friend, William. For the next several months, it’s just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the moody, swirling sea.

Rich with empathy and emotion, Lucy by the Sea vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace, and possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire. At the heart of this story are the deep human connections that unite us even when we’re apart—the pain of a beloved daughter’s suffering, the emptiness that comes from the death of a loved one, the promise of a new friendship, and the comfort of an old, enduring love.

Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire New York Sincère Émouvant

Loved the story line and excellent way in which it was told. Superb narration as well!

Mrs Strout is the greatest soul nurturer. Her words unravel our deepest inner thoughts like no other. She wrote the pandemic because she/we needed this to remember how traumatic it was. And yet it got us closer to ourselves. But the more important outcome is how it divided our society even more. That is the power of her writing…cohabitation of so many feelings.

Just the best one !

Tackling this time period while we are still so wrapped up in it is a blessing and a curse. It gives insight into the various mindsets and events while being careful not to make a full judgement. Job well done by the author there.

It is an excellent look into the personal journey of internally processing the look back on your life as you age. A story of acceptance and self awareness through many phases of our lives including grief and childhood trauma and how others within the same event can see it from their own lense.

L’autrice présente une tranche dans la vie de Lucy, qui nous ramène à la nôtre durant la pandémie. Excellent narration.

No wonder the writer won a Pulitzer for her other novel .

I'm devouring everything she has written. How did I not know about her? Start with Olive Kittredge.

Story was slow, Lucy was believably a very old and out of touch senior, which contradicted her supposed life as an author who was a worldwide traveler. For a writer she had very few descriptive words for her mood other than hating this or that.
The house in Maine was the best part.

So slow

I'm not sure if it was the narrator or the story but struggled to finish. It's so boring. From her constant one to two line stories like stating her husband doesn't like to watch her floss. The constant telling of people wearing their masks under their noses. There really was no story, just a daily recount of her day. You could miss chapters and it would make very little difference.
pass on this one.

Boring.

I felt like her publishers gave her a deadline and she just pushed out some random disjointed thoughts on previous characters and the pandemic. Very unsatisfying read.

Not her best work
