“‘Tell Me Everything’ … brings together Strout’s most indelible characters in a rich tapestry, intricately wrought yet effortlessly realized, both suspenseful and meditative.”
Priscilla Gilman, “In ‘Tell Me Everything,’ Elizabeth Strout finds the big hearts behind some of New England’s most tight-lipped townspeople,” Boston Globe, Sept 4, 2024.
“Strout delivers that most terrible and yet important of literary clichés: a book with heart.… Like all the best literary landscapes, [the town of] Crosby is everywhere, its people are all of us and their stories matter. ”
Alice Fishburn, “Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout — a small-town story with a big heart,” The Financial Times, Sept 4, 2024.
“Set in Maine, Elizabeth Strout’s “Tell Me Everything” is a generous, compassionate novel about the human need for connection, understanding and love, and the damage that occurs when those things are denied. The story brings together Strout’s most beloved characters from previous books — Olive Kitteridge, Lucy Barton and the Burgess Boys — in a series of episodes that span a year, a time of great change.”
Laurie Hertzel, “Review: Elizabeth Strout brings together beloved characters in novel about connection,” Datebook, San Francisco Chronicle, Aug 30, 2024.
My new book, TELL ME EVERYTHING, comes out soon in both the US and the UK. Both covers are just lovely, I couldn’t be happier with them.
I’ll be on tour starting Sept 11, so please check the tour schedule and come say hello if you’re in the area!
