onLeave a Comment on "My Name is Lucy Barton" by Elizabeth Strout. I have read some wonderful books lately! After a few days with a fabulously twisty book with more secrets than most carry I read this today. I needed a little rest from drama which is usually where I seek Anna Quindlen. So happy to have a "small" book on my pile by one of my new favorites, Elizabeth Strout. I just love how she weaves her stories and some of the lessons you learn along the way. 
It's the first book of a 4-book series: Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Oh William!, and Lucy by the Sea. Olive Kitteridge even makes a small appearance later in the series.
Very different from _Olive Kitteridge_ - this one is much more intimate, quiet, and personal.
