My Name Is Lucy Barton

kate_double shared a tip "This is a book about a woman’s life, and yet, with something about all of our lives. Written simply and beautifully, she covers childhood, family of origin, poverty, generational trauma, marriage, divorce, parenting, grieving, and finding your place in the world with grace and sensitivity. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading others by Elizabeth Stout."

corina_bazan-abalos shared a tip "I had a hard time following at the beginning. I had to go back and reread a few to completely engage my brain. I really enjoyed it after that. I liked how the author made me really think about the main character and engage with each of her life events. It was a very good book."
