A hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Booker-shortlisted author - available for pre-order now

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.

Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers -- Ann Patchett
No one else writes like Elizabeth Strout -- Rachel Joyce
You don't so much read a Strout novel as inhabit it * Guardian *
One of America's finest writers * Sunday Times *
What sets Strout's work apart is her characterisation . . . Long on empathy while steering clear of sentimentality, her prose bears the minerality of a crisp white wine, with a seeming simplicity that belies its profound power * Financial Times *
Divine. I couldn't wait for the end of each day so I could slip back into Strout's masterfully-crafted universe again. Such awareness of the human condition, such tenderness, such knowing. What more could you ask from a novel? -- Priscilla Morris
