LitHub: Cover Reveal: Elizabeth Strout’s Lucy by the Sea.
I’m delighted to share the cover of my forthcoming book, Lucy by the Sea! It was designed by Anna Kochman and Greg Mollica, with art by Jeremy Miranda.

Lucy by the Sea will be on sale from Random House on September 20th, 2022. You can preorder it now.
