THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2025
‘Stunning, deeply felt and profoundly intelligent' Guardian
It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a house next * to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been.
Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now * living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – “unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.
Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”
‘A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own' Hilary Mantel
‘A terrific writer' Zadie Smith
‘Strout’s ability to reveal the wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish' Telegraph
OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK: ‘A beautiful read reminding us that there is extraordinary love in ordinary actions' Oprah Winfrey
Elizabeth Strout, Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, 2022
