Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself.

Exceptional story, exceptional narrator

If you could sum up My Name Is Lucy Barton in three words, what would they be?
Elizabeth Strout has again written a thoughtful, mesmerizing novel. I can't say enough about the narrator, Kinberly Farr. She really feels the characters. She reads very slowly and with such controlled emotion. I would have to say that listening to her read this book is undoubtably a better experience than reading it and I rarely say that.

For a group of four New York friends, the past decade has been largely defined by marriage and motherhood. Educated and reared to believe that they would conquer the world, they then left prestigious jobs to stay home with their babies. What was meant to be a temporary leave of absence has lasted a decade. Now, at age 40, with the halcyon days of young motherhood behind them and without professions to define them, Amy, Jill, Roberta, and Karen face a life that is not what they were brought up to expect but seems to be the one they have chosen.

The book is a sort of chick-lit for 30 year olds. It was very enjoyable and easy to listen to.
My only gripe is the mispronunciation of the town of Naperville, IL, which is the home town of one of the characters. The narrator pronounces with a short "a," tho the actual pronunciation is with a long "a." You would think this would have been checked out by the editors.
