My Name Is Lucy Barton

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley.

Elizabeth Strout writes with grace and subtlety, and her writing is what makes this story the mix of beautiful and tragic that it is. It's a story about one woman, but it's laced with moments that shine a light on the lives of many different people, even if only for a page or two. Every character that appears is treated with the same compassion, and written with the same depth, as Lucy Barton herself. It's worth reading if you're looking for a short book with depth.
