Summary
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK
Brought to you by Penguin.
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. 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 down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. Together, they spend afternoons 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."

Elderly gossips
Really enjoyed all the old and familiar cast of characters, a little bit of a who dunnit story line, but mainly a good gossip with old friends.

Broken people
Patricide, matricide, suicide, lies, deceit, dysfunctional families, bodily functions, old age, dementia and marking pants - all human life is here. Typical Strout style read by the ever brilliant Kimberly Farr.

“Love is love”
In this book Lucy Barton meets my favourite character of all time, Olive Ketteridge, and they swap seemingly banal stories of people they have known. The backing track to this is Lucy’s almost affair with Bob Burgess. At the same time Bob is involved in defending a lonely child like man who may have murdered his mother. It sounds such a simple tale but it is anything but. I loved it and I am about to re listen as I know I will have missed and forgotten so much detail.

Brilliant writing
Olive Kitteridge and Lucy were my favourite parts of the novel. Elizabeth Strout’s writing is like being g held in a safe pair of hands. Her use of prose is outstanding. I loved this book and would highly recommend it. Veronica
