"Man får vara ordentligt marinerad i cynism för att inte svepas med i författarens tro på vad människor kan göra för varandra."
Göteborgs-Posten
"Det lätta samtalet fungerar som en lindrande filt över vars och ens kolsvarta ensamhet och ensamhet."
Dagens Nyheter
"Man skrattar och gråter tillsammans med Elizabeth Strouts romangestalter, man glömmer att de inte är riktiga människor."
Nerikes Allehanda
Det är höst i den lilla staden Crosby i Maine. Advokaten Bob Burgess har blivit insnärjd i en pågående mordutredning där han försvarar en man som anklagas för att ha dödat sin mamma. Han har också blivit vän med den hyllade författaren Lucy Barton, som bor längre ner på gatan i ett hus vid havet med sin före detta man, William. Lucy och Bob tar långa promenader tillsammans och pratar om sina liv, sina rädslor, vad de ångrar och hur livet kunde ha blivit.
Lucy får också äntligen lära känna den omtalade Olive Kitteridge, som nu bor på ett seniorboende i utkanten av stan. De tillbringar eftermiddagarna tillsammans i Olives lägenhet och berättar historier för varandra om människor de har känt, människor som skänkt deras liv mening.
Berätta allt är en hoppfull roman om nya vänner och gamla kärlekar, och om varför relationer till andra människor är det som håller oss vid liv. Som Lucy Barton säger: "Kärlek kan se ut på så många olika sätt, men det är alltid kärlek."

"en underbart levande bok från ett författarskap jag unnar varje läsare att bekanta sig med." Västerbottens-Kuriren
Mitt under pågående pandemi föreslår Lucy Bartons exmake William att de tillsammans ska fly New York. Trots deras trassliga förflutna följer Lucy med, fast övertygad om att det rör sig om ett par veckors vistelse i en lite kuststad i Maine. Under månaderna som följer är Lucy och William utelämnade till varandra och irritationen blir allt större i huset intill det lynniga, brusande havet.
Lucy kämpar med isoleringen och längtar tillbaka till sitt älskade New York. Hon konfronteras med sitt förflutna och sina sorger. Hon saknar sin nyss avlidne make, plågas av en väns död och tänker på de vuxna döttrarna, som inte längre tycks behöva henne. Hon ser hur döttrarna kämpar med sin kärlek till varandra, en kärlek som ibland lider av svår bitterhet och distans.
Men under promenaderna och i tystnaden finns också ett välgörande lugn och vila. Långsamt får livet en annan skärpa och en oväntad vänskap föds i mötet med grannen Bob. Häpen upptäcker hon att han känns närmare henne än vad William någonsin varit. Med små medel, en utsökt humor och en skarpsinnig blick skildrar Elizabeth Strout hur svår, nyckfull och vacker intimitet kan vara människor emellan.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions.“Strout managed to make me love this strange woman I’d never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific writer she is.”—Zadie Smith, The Guardian“Just as wonderful as the original . . . Olive, Again poignantly reminds us that empathy, a requirement for love, helps make life ‘not unhappy.’”—NPR ONE OF PEOPLE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, Vogue, NPR, The Washington Post,Chicago Tribune, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, BuzzFeed, Esquire, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, The New York Public Library, The Guardian, Evening Standard, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, BookPage

#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.”—PeopleA 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 ReviewsLucy 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.

A beautiful new edition of one of acclaimed writer Elizabeth Strout's much-loved novelsKatherine is only five-years-old. Struck dumb with grief at her mother's death, it is down to her father, the heartbroken minister Tyler Caskey, to bring his daughter out of silence she has observed in the wake of the family's tragedy. But Tyler Caskey is barely surviving himself. His cold, church-assigned home is colder still since Lauren's death, and he struggles to find the right words for his sermons; struggles to be a leader to his congregation when he himself is lost. When Katherine's schoolteacher calls to discuss his daughter's anti-social behaviour, it sparks a chain of events that begins to tear down Tyler's defences. The small-town rumour-mill has much to make of Katherine's odd behaviour, and even more to say about Tyler's relationship with his housekeeper, Connie Hatch. And in Tyler's darkest hour, a startling discovery will test his congregation's humanity - and his own will to endure the kinds of trials that sooner or later test us all. From the Booker-shortlisted author of Oh, William!, this is a startlingly beautiful novel about love and abandonment, faith and hypocrisy; and the peril of family secrets…

Det är höst i den lilla staden Crosby i Maine. Advokaten Bob Burgess har blivit insnärjd i en pågående mordutredning där han försvarar en man som anklagas för att ha dödat sin mamma. Han har också blivit vän med den hyllade författaren Lucy Barton, som bor längre ner på gatan i ett hus vid havet med sin före detta man, William. Lucy och Bob tar långa promenader tillsammans och pratar om sina liv, sina rädslor, vad de ångrar och hur livet kunde ha blivit.
Lucy får också äntligen lära känna den omtalade Olive Kitteridge, som nu bor på ett seniorboende i utkanten av stan. De tillbringar eftermiddagarna tillsammans i Olives lägenhet och berättar historier för varandra om människor de har känt, människor som skänkt deras liv mening.
Berätta allt är en hoppfull roman om nya vänner och gamla kärlekar, och om varför relationer till andra människor är det som håller oss vid liv. Som Lucy Barton säger: "Kärlek kan se ut på så många olika sätt, men det är alltid kärlek."

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.”—NPRA 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 ReadsWith 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

'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own' Hilary MantelFROM THE BOOKER-SHORTLISTED, PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR 'It is a gift in this life that we do not know what awaits us'In March 2020 Lucy Barton's ex-husband William pleads with her to leave New York and escape to a coastal house he has rented in Maine. Lucy reluctantly agrees, leaving the washing-up in the sink, expecting to be back in a week or two. Weeks turn into months, and it's just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the sea.Rich with empathy and a searing clarity, Lucy by the Sea evokes the fragility and uncertainty of the recent past, as well as the possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire.

Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition—its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.The inspiration for the Emmy Award–winning HBO miniseries starring Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins, and Bill Murray

Det är höst i den lilla staden Crosby i Maine. Advokaten Bob Burgess har blivit insnärjd i en pågående mordutredning där han försvarar en man som anklagas för att ha dödat sin mamma. Han har också blivit vän med den hyllade författaren Lucy Barton, som bor längre ner på gatan i ett hus vid havet med sin före detta man, William. Lucy och Bob tar långa promenader tillsammans och pratar om sina liv, sina rädslor, vad de ångrar och hur livet kunde ha blivit.
Lucy får också äntligen lära känna den omtalade Olive Kitteridge, som nu bor på ett seniorboende i utkanten av stan. De tillbringar eftermiddagarna tillsammans i Olives lägenhet och berättar historier för varandra om människor de har känt, människor som skänkt deras liv mening.
Berätta allt är en hoppfull roman om nya vänner och gamla kärlekar, och om varför relationer till andra människor är det som håller oss vid liv. Som Lucy Barton säger: "Kärlek kan se ut på så många olika sätt, men det är alltid kärlek."

Mitt under pågående pandemi föreslår Lucy Bartons exmake William att de tillsammans ska fly New York. Trots deras trassliga förflutna följer Lucy med, fast övertygad om att det rör sig om ett par veckors vistelse i en lite kuststad i Maine. Under månaderna som följer är Lucy och William utelämnade till varandra och irritationen blir allt större i huset intill det lynniga, brusande havet.
Lucy kämpar med isoleringen och längtar tillbaka till sitt älskade New York. Hon konfronteras med sitt förflutna och sina sorger. Hon saknar sin nyss avlidne make, plågas av en väns död och tänker på de vuxna döttrarna, som inte längre tycks behöva henne. Hon ser hur döttrarna kämpar med sin kärlek till varandra, en kärlek som ibland lider av svår bitterhet och distans.
Men under promenaderna och i tystnaden finns också ett välgörande lugn och vila. Långsamt får livet en annan skärpa och en oväntad vänskap föds i mötet med grannen Bob. Häpen upptäcker hon att han känns närmare henne än vad William någonsin varit. Med små medel, en utsökt humor och en skarpsinnig blick skildrar Elizabeth Strout hur svår, nyckfull och vacker intimitet kan vara människor emellan.
