"A mother comes to visit her daughter in hospital after having not seen her in many years. They sit and talk, connecting again mostly by talking about various people who Lucy knew in her childhood. But the power and the love in this brilliant new novel comes from what remains unsaid. In the spaces between the sometimes gentle sometimes charged conversation, Lucy Barton fills in her own childhood memories about growing up in Amgash, Illinois, in a deeply troubled family filled with secrets; the pain about her faltering marriage; and her journey toward becoming a writer. A stunning work of fiction from one of our most celebrated authors."
