Resumen del Editor
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
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Graceful, deceptively light . . . Lucy’s done the hard work of transformation. May we do the same.”—The New York Times
“Lucy by the Sea has an anecdotal surface that belies a firm underlying structure. It is meant to feel like life—random, surprising, occasionally lit with flashes of larger meaning—but it is art.”—The New Yorker
“No novelist working today has Strout’s extraordinary capacity for radical empathy, for seeing the essence of people beyond reductive categories, for uniting us without sentimentality. I didn’t just love Lucy by the Sea; I needed it. May droves of readers come to feel enlarged, comforted, and genuinely uplifted by Lucy’s story.”—The Boston Globe

Historia
En una habitación de hospital en pleno centro de Manhattan, delante del iluminado edificio Chrysler, cuyo perfil se recorta al otro lado de la ventana, dos mujeres hablan sin descanso durante cinco días y cinco noches. Hace muchos años que no se ven, pero el flujo de su conversación parece capaz de detener el tiempo y silenciar el ruido ensordecedor de todo lo que no se dice. En esa habitación de hospital, durante cinco días y cinco noches, las dos mujeres son en realidad algo muy antiguo, peligroso e intenso: una madre y una hija que recuerdan lo mucho que se aman.

Historia
Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners.

Historia
Barnaby Gaitlin was never a bad kid, but he was certainly doing his best to impersonate one. As a teenager, he developed a habit of breaking into other people’s houses. But he wasn’t interested in the valuable loot - he just liked to read people’s mail, peruse their family albums, and maybe pocket a few personal mementos. Now almost 30 and divorced, he finds himself working for Rent-aBack, which helps the elderly and infirm move furniture or take down their Christmas trees. It’s the perfect career for Barnaby.

Historia
At sixty-five, Hornclaw is beginning to slow down. She lives modestly in a small apartment, with only her aging dog, a rescue named Deadweight, to keep her company. There are expectations for people her age—that she'll retire and live out the rest of her days quietly. But Hornclaw is not like other people. She is an assassin. Double-crossers, corporate enemies, cheating spouses—for the past four decades, Hornclaw has killed them all with ruthless efficiency, and the less she's known about her targets, the better. But now, nearing the end of her career, she has just slipped up.

Brilliant and thought provoking
I made peace with Olive K but it was easy to love Lucy. It was a wonderful way to relive the last three years through the eyes of so gifted a writer.

Ambivalent..
I didn’t read any reviews prior to reading the book since this often colors my perception prematurely, but came to the same conclusion: I was dumbfounded by how Kimberly Farr could have been chosen as the narrator for this eagerly awaited new release by one of my favorite authors. I too needed to speed up the narration to a minimum of 1.2 speed to avoid feeling like I was in a kindergarten class, with the weird inflections and pauses. It was like listening to someone read a script— very unnaturally. So many times I wanted to put down the book, but out of respect for the author and faith that things would pick up, I kept with it until the end.
Now, the story itself: it definitely was not my favorite novel by ES, as it was more like I was listening to a journal reading, rather than being given the opportunity to be drawn into the characters inner lives. The subject matter and setting revolving around one woman’s experience in the pandemic and her relationships never quite delved into the depth of character development or even perspective from the other character’s that would have made this book shine. I couldn’t get away from the simplistic writing style and tonal inflection by the narrator which proved a challenge the entire way through, but I did persevere and enjoyed parts of it, but it just left me feeling disappointed and wanting more. I’d recommend it in book form- but likely not audio.

As good as all the others
I loved this book. Elizabeth Strout has a deep understanding of grief, motherhood, and little moments in life that are so mundane and deep simultaneously.. I’m going back to re- read all the other books. I felt as if I was sitting in the kitchen at the table with Elizabeth Strout. wonderful narration also

Full of gems in spite of the narrator
The book brought me back to what life was like during the pandemic and that alone made it worthwhile. Plus, it's full of wonderful gems of described experiences and wise conclusions. Unfortunately, these gems are surrounded by a slow plot and lots of repeated phrases, such as "I remember this" and "So this happened." The narrator is wrong for this book, and too slow. And I agree with the critics that say that a published author who travels the country doing book readings, especially a New Yorker, would not speak the way Lucy speaks, even given her impoverished background. Yet I'm glad I listened to it and look forward to Strout's next book. I do wish she could bring back Olive Kitteridge.

Almost Gave Up
I'm glad I stuck with it because it's a wonderful story but the performance is off putting. it's monotonous. Don't listen to this when you're in bed. You'll fall asleep.

Brilliant narration; Good story
Told from Lucy Barton’s perspective, the novel was like a long-time neighborhood friend describing her experience during and after the worst of the pandemic. The narration was brilliant in capturing the feeling and expressiveness of Lucy’s vernacular.

Good read for older adults
This was a great story but may not be interesting for the under 50 crowd unless they want a perspective of how their parents or older friends lives are going. Liked the timeliness of covid and how it really impacted people

Moving and real
Just what a novel should be—an engaging story with deeper meaning expressed through unfolding relationships. It grew on us (my wife and I listened together) as it went along. Highly recommend.
