âElizabeth Strout is one of my very favorite writers, so the fact that Oh William! may well be my favorite of her books is a mathematical equation for joy. The depth, complexity, and love contained in these pages is a miraculous achievement.ââAnn Patchett, author of The Dutch House
I would like to say a few things about my first husband, William.Â
Lucy Barton is a writer, but her ex-husband, William, remains a hard man to read. William, she confesses, has always been a mystery to me. Another mystery is why the two have remained connected after all these years. They just are.Â
So Lucy is both surprised and not surprised when William asks her to join him on a trip to investigate a recently uncovered family secretâone of those secrets that rearrange everything we think we know about the people closest to us. What happens next is nothing less than another example of what Hilary Mantel has called Elizabeth Stroutâs âperfect attunement to the human condition.â There are fears and insecurities, simple joys and acts of tenderness, and revelations about affairs and other spouses, parents and their children. On every page of this exquisite novel we learn more about the quiet forces that hold us togetherâeven after weâve grown apart.Â
At the heart of this story is the indomitable voice of Lucy Barton, who offers a profound, lasting reflection on the very nature of existence. âThis is the way of life,â Lucy says: âthe many things we do not know until it is too late.â
