Amy and Isabelle: A Novel
by Elizabeth Strout
Mothers and daughters, the one daisy chain that inevitably breaks. We expect it to break, want it to, but somehow spend our lives wondering if we could have kept it intact. Elizabeth Strout takes a common story and nurtures it into a blooming desert. She holds me so close to her characters our breathing falls into pace.
