La Lucy a la vora del mar

As fear grips her town, Lucy Barton leaves Manhattan and hunkers down in a Maine town with her ex-husband, William. During the following months, the two of them, companions after so many years, will be alone with their complex past in a small house next to an impetuous sea, an experience from which they will emerge transformed. In a voice imbued with an "intimate, fragile and desperate humanity," Elizabeth Strout explores the intricacies of the human heart in a revolutionary and luminous portrait of personal relationships during a period of isolation. At the center of this story are the deep ties that unite us even when we are apart: the pain of a daughter suffering, the emptiness after the death of a loved one, the promise of a budding friendship and the comfort of an old love that still lasts.
