My Name is Lucy Barton

My Name Is Lucy Barton (Amgash, #1)My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another quiet book that was profoundly moving in places. Focusing on the relationship of mother and daughter, one that was difficult (though the difficulties are mostly only alluded to), but carried a lot of unspoken love. It also explored the idea of what it is to be a writer, to share with the world your story, and to discover what that story is. I also loved the quiet acts of kindness the character observed and cherished. In all, it was a book that felt like a healing and an inspiration.
