Book
My name is Lucy Barton : a novel / Elizabeth Strout.
The profound mother-daughter bond is explored through a mother's hospital visit to her estranged daughter by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Olive Kitteridge" and "The Burgess Boys." Lucy Barton is in the hospital due to an infection from a simple appendix operation. Her mother, whom she hasn't seen in years, comes to visit her, and sits by her bedside, reminiscing about people she and Lucy know from Lucy's childhood, before Lucy went off to college and never returned. What makes the book reverberate with such feeling is the lacerating mother/daughter relationship. And yet at the end of the day you know how much these two women, regardless of the past, truly and deeply love each other.
