The Book called Lucy by the Sea
I finished a terrific book by Elizabeth Strout yesterday. Lucy by the Sea . It takes place during Covid Times. The novel brought back memories and evoked vague sensations of disbelief in this midwestern reader. As I read I kept thinking, "Oh yeah, and then that happened." We lived through a sad and weird time, my friends. Lucy Barton is the main character and she's a woman with two grown kids who don't live with her any more. She has woes and worries, but she maintains a pleasant demeanor. She leaves New York with her ex-husband William and social distances in Maine for a good long while. I wish I could take a walk with Lucy Barton along the coast. She goes out twice a day. I think we would have things in common and maybe she would give me some advice about writing. Lucy by the Sea is a great book. This is the 3rd book about Lucy Barton I've read. There are 2 others . You should read about Lucy Barton if you want to. ...
