Oh William! A Novel by Elizabeth Strout

Extended Synopsis

Lucy Barton is a writer, but her ex-husband, William, remains a hard man to read. So Lucy is both surprised and not surprised when William asks her to join him on a trip to investigate a recently uncovered family secret. As they reckon with where they’ve come from and what they’ve left behind, this exquisite novel explores fears, simple joys, acts of tenderness, and the quiet forces that hold us together—even after we’ve grown apart.
