From the No. 1 New York Times bestselling and Booker long-listed author of My Name is Lucy Barton

Recalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others. Anything is Possible tells the story of the inhabitants of rural, dusty Amgash, Illinois, the hometown of Lucy Barton, a successful New York writer who finally returns, after seventeen years of absence, to visit the siblings she left behind.

Reverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors.

'A terrific writer' Zadie Smith

'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own' Hilary Mantel

Reviews

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. (Hilary Mantel on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
So good I got goosebumps... a masterly novel of family ties by one of America's finest writers (Sunday Times on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
Strout's best novel yet (Ann Patchett on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
A powerful storyteller immersed in the nuances of human relationships (Observer on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
Tender, elegiac, this is the story of a single life that also manages to tell the story of many (Independent on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
Sympathetic, subtle and sometimes shocking (Emma Healey on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
This is a glorious novel, deft, tender and true. Read it
Elizabeth Strout's prose is like words doing jazz (Rachel Joyce)
Plain and beautiful...Strout writes with an extraordinary tenderness and restraint (Kate Summerscale on 'My Name is Lucy Barton')
Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge is the best novel I've read for some time (David Nicholls)

Mais la narration est juste insupportable. Après 10mn d'écoute, J'ai demandé un retour. C'est lent, laborieux, La narratrice butte sur les mots...bref, je n'ai pas apprécié. je vais le télécharger sur mon kindle je pense et le lire plutôt que de l'écouter.

l'histoire est sûrement très bien...
