Es gibt Momente wenn ich ein Buch lese da berühren Textstellen meine Gefühle tief in mir. Danke

Just finished Lucy by the Sea by , the last of the series. Set, and I guess written, in lockdown. Not convinced either is conducive to good art. Didn't enjoy as much as the first installment. My main thoughts were that it is striking that Lucy, despite her success as a writer, has little agency over her own life and where it goes. And perhaps that shows us the effects of earlier poverty and poor parenting are hard to shake off.

I was talking about with a friend who read it at my recommendation. And we decided that is very good at writing people because she lets her characters be complicated and not act on their feelings.

Immersing myself once more in the small town world of Elizabeth Strout.

“Anything is Possible” tells the story of Lucy Barton returning to her hometown of rural Amgash, Illinois. After seventeen years of absence, Lucy is finally visiting the siblings she left behind.”

The second book in her Amgash sequence.
