Just finished #tellmeeverything by #elizabethstrout & have mixed feelings. While I thoroughly enjoyed the story’s philosophical bent, I found its voice a bit odd as it was very similar to the voice used in Strout’s other #lucybarton novels, which were 1st person. #tellmeeverything was in 3rd person, so I think its voice should have been different.
One novel of hers I feel was overlooked &, besides #olivekitteridge, is probably my favorite is #AbideWithMe. Highly recommend!

I've often thought I should catch up with all the inhabitants of Elizabeth Strout's literary world. (So many books, so little time . . .). Susan has kept up with all of them, as is evident in her appreciation of Strout's latest #novel .
