This is a shimmering masterpiece of a book...Strout is a brilliant chronicler of the ambiguity and delicacy of the human condition.Anything is Possibleis a wise, stunning novel
The words appear on the page as if breathed there
Anything is Possibleis wonderfully readable because Strout really can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her, in that house, that life, that little Podunk of a place
Strout's compassion for her fellow creatures, as these anguished, lean stories prove, is as keen as a whip and all the more painful for it
The work of Elizabeth Strout suggests that she pays a similar quality of unseparate attention to life, which she - not passively, but actively - takes in, listening to, looking into it, reflecting up on and freeing it once more, remade, in beautifully placed words, onto the page to live again for us, her fortunate readers
Anything is Possibleis absolutely wonderful. Here is a writer at the peak of her powers: compassionate, profoundly observant, laser-cut diamond brilliant
Anything Is Possibleconfirms Strout as one of our most grace-filled, and graceful, writers
There is immense humanity in Strout's writing....her masterful economy of prose creates a rich tapestry infused with emotional wisdom...Anything is Possible is a masterpiece
A quietly gripping deception of some of the ordinary, messy, interwoven lives that Lucy and her mother discussed in the earlier book
Strout, always good, just keeps getting better
In her latest work, Strout achieves new levels of masterful storytelling.
[F]ull of searing insight into the darkest corners of the human spirit... 'Anything Is Possible' is both sweeping in scope and incredibly introspective. That delicate balance is what makes its content so sharp and compulsively readable... With assuredness, compassion and utmost grace, her words and characters remind us that in life anythingisactually possible
The epic scope within seemingly modest confines recalls Strout's Pulitzer Prize winner,Olive Kitteridge, and her ability to discern vulnerabilities buried beneath bad behavior is as acute as ever. Another powerful examination of painfully human ambiguities and ambivalences-this gifted writer just keeps getting better.
If you miss the charmingly eccentric and completely relatable characters from Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout's best-sellingMy Name is Lucy Barton, you'll be happily reunited with them in Strout's smart and soulfulAnything is Possible
Strout once again shows her talent for adroitly uncovering what makes ordinary people tick
Strout pierces the inner worlds of these characters' most private behaviors, illuminating the emotional conflicts and pure joy of being human, of finding oneself in the search for the American dream
Amgash, Illinois, will be familiar to Elizabeth Strout fans as the hometown of the protagonist of her 2016 novel,My Name is Lucy Barton. InAnything is Possible... Lucy's legend looms large... butno prior reading is required to enjoy Strout's powerful writing and empathy
We devoured Strout's last novel,My Name Is Lucy Barton, and her latest-which is loosely linked toLucy Barton-is no different. Told from multiple points of view, it's about residents of a small town in Illinois struggling with the most relatable and quotidian problems... you'll swear you know these characters. (In fact, it reminds us a bit of another of Strout's masterpieces, the excellentOlive Kitteridge.)
Elizabeth Strout's prose is like words doing jazz
I am deeply impressed.Writing of this quality comes from a commitment to listening, from a perfect attunement to the human condition, from an attention to reality so exact that it goes beyond a skill and becomes a virtue.
A powerful storyteller immersed in the nuances of human relationships
Tender, elegiac,this is the story of a single life that also manages to tell the story of many
The writing is wrenchingly lovely. It almost always is with Strout, whether she's knitting metaphors or summarizing, with agonizing economy, whole episodes.
There are not many novelists out there producing writing as good as this
Down to every sentence, it's wise, touching and quietly powerful
As always, Strout treats even the most difficult characters with rare understanding. "It made me feel much less alone," says on reader of Lucy's memoir. The same will surely be said ofAnything Is Possible
Gorgeous... Strout is in that special company of writers like Richard Ford, Stewart O'Nan and Richard Russo, who write simply about ordinary lives and, in so doing, make us readers see the beauty of both their worn and rough surfaces and what lies beneath
Highly enjoyable
A subtle, disturbing and touching book that is a miracle of wisdom and perception
A beautifully told story of small-town Americans dealing with big life issues
Utterly beautiful in the way that these characters were flawed to their core yet brimful of keeping it together no matter what...I loved it, there wasn't a moment when I didn't believe it.
In all her novels, including this one, "the kindness of strangers is a fierce sun than can pierce the cloud"
Every chapter has depth, nuances, restrained descriptions and luminous characterisation. A wonder of a book
Elizabeth Strout is a novelist in whose hands anything really is possible, and if you've yet to discover her, make this holiday the one you do
This glimmering, profound, beautiful novel is modern American writing at its best'
Just as understated and as full of horrifyingly elisions and surprising epiphanies as its predecessor
This audacious novel is about small-town characters struggling to make sense of past family traumas
Strout turns her clear, incisive gaze on the intricacies and betrayals of small town life
