In conversation with Dr. Theresa Gaul, TCU
Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout’s Tell Me Everything is a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world.
With her “extraordinary capacity for radical empathy” (The Boston Globe), remarkable insight into the human condition, and silences that contain multitudes, Strout returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to her beloved cast of characters—Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and more—as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst; fall in love and yet choose to be apart; and grapple with the question, as Lucy Barton puts it, “What does anyone’s life mean?” Brimming with empathy and pathos, Strout illuminates 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 the New York Times bestselling author of numerous novels, including Lucy by the Sea, Oh William!, The Burgess Boys, and Olive Kitteridge, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
