“No-one writes interior life as Strout does. This is meticulous observed writing, full of probing psychological insight. Lucy Barton is one of literature’s immortal characters – brittle, damaged, unravelling, vulnerable and most of all, ordinary, like us all.”
Lovely to find OH WILLIAM! on the longlist for the Booker Prize! Many thanks to the judges for their kind words and congratulations to the other nominees.
