À propos de cet audio

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • A simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter in this “spectacular” (The Washington Post) novel by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys.

“An aching, illuminating look at mother-daughter devotion.”—People

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, Minneapolis Star Tribune, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Miami Herald, The Guardian Slate, BookPage, LibraryReads, Kirkus Reviews

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.

I love the way Elizabeth Strout writes people. The way she’s able to share the human experience in such a real way. I found myself crying a few times as I could relate to the longing feeling of needing my mother. It was a beautiful book, thank you.

Beautiful!

I have listened to this book several times. It's the most truthful book I've ever read, nuanced and visual.

My favourite book.

The author seems to have thought that the horrible relationship with her mother was ok. Hard to listen until the end.

kind of depressing

Hated this book. Didn’t get attached to any of characters. Poorly written. Not sure if point. Boring

Very boring

It was recommended to me and all I have to say is.. it's so boring! I keep waiting for her to fill in the blanks and for something to be explained fully, but it never happens. There's no story and just goes on and on of these random thoughts and memories of an uninteresting character. I didn't care about Lucy Barton. The performance of the narrated Kimberly Farr made me want to fall asleep. Don't waste your time.

Just trying to finish it...
