About the author:
Elizabeth Strout is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Olive Kitteridge, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Olive, Again, an Oprah’s Book Club pick; Anything Is Possible, winner of the Story Prize; My Name is Lucy Barton, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize; The Burgess Boys; Abide with Me; and Amy and Isabelle. She has also been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the International Dublin Literary Award, and the Orange Prize. Elizabeth Strout lives in New York City.
In Strout's latest novel Oh William!, Lucy Barton's ex-husband, William, has always been a mystery to Lucy. Another mystery is why the two have remained connected after all these years. So Lucy is both surprised and not surprised when William asks her to join him on a trip to investigate a recently uncovered family secret—one of those secrets that rearrange everything we think we know about the people closest to us. On every page of this exquisite novel we learn more about the quiet forces that hold us together—even after we’ve grown apart.
Elizabeth Strout will be joined in conversation by Paula McLain, the New York Times bestselling author of the novels When the Stars Go Dark, Love and Ruin, Circling the Sun, The Paris Wife, and A Ticket to Ride, the memoir Like Family: Growing Up in Other People’s Houses, and two collections of poetry.
Each ticket includes a seat at the author’s talk, a signed copy of Oh William!, and a donation to the Cuyahoga County Public Library Foundation.
