About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From Pulitzer Prize-winning, number one New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Strout comes Lucy by the Sea, a novel featuring Lucy Barton, the indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton and Oh William!

Lucy is uprooted from her life in New York City and reluctantly goes into lockdown with her ex-husband, William, in a house on the coast of Maine. Strout's new novel is a miraculous work of fiction. A brilliantly sharp evocation of the period we have just lived through, it is a novel that both resonates deeply and consoles us, too.

A down to earth wise and compassionate book, Lucy by the Sea is a manual for what matters when the world as we have known it is crumbling. I loved it and also Kimberly Farr’s seemingly loving reading.

I really liked the narrator. Her voice and age matched the book perfectly. Sounded like a well educated mature American woman. Will look for her again.
