Lucy By the Sea
by Elizabeth Strout
Lucy by the Sea is Strout’s most recent novel of her Lucy Barton books. It is a moving story of Lucy’s experiences of lockdown and Covid-19; being uprooted from her life in New York, living with her ex-husband William, and worrying about her children. While it is best to read Strout’s Lucy Barton books in sequence, they do stand alone.
