Todo es posible cuenta la historia de los habitantes de Amgash, una ciudad rural y polvorienta de Illinois que vio nacer a Lucy Barton, quien más tarde se convirtió en una escritora de éxito afincada en Nueva York. Cuando Lucy vuelve a su lugar de origen al cabo de diecisiete años de ausencia para visitar a los hermanos que dejó atrás, el regreso desencadena una serie de historias por parte de quienes la conocieron: recuerdos de soledad y condescendencia, sutiles y poderosos sentimientos, y el creciente abismo entre los deseos y la realidad de cada cual.

Lucy Barton se está recuperando lentamente en el hospital de lo que debería haber sido una operación simple. Desde la ventana de su habitación, en pleno centro de Manhattan, el edificio Chrysler se ilumina cada noche marcando el paso del tiempo, que avanza lento. Su madre, con quien no ha hablado en muchos años, viene a verla. Las dos mujeres pasarán unos días juntas, entre silencios y pequeños chismes sobre las vidas de personas que Lucy dejó atrás hace tiempo al irse de casa para perseguir su sueño de ser escritora en la gran ciudad.

Es otoño en Maine y Bob Burgess, el abogado del pueblo, está inmerso en la investigación de un asesinato, mientras entabla una profunda amistad con la aclamada escritora Lucy Barton, que vive calle abajo con su exmarido William. Juntos, Lucy y Bob salen a pasear y hablan de sus vidas, de sus miedos y remordimientos, y de lo que podría ser o haber sido. Lucy, por su parte, conoce por fin a la mítica Olive Kitteridge, que ahora vive en una urbanización de jubilados a las afueras de la ciudad.

Cuando el miedo se va apoderando de la ciudad, Lucy Barton abandona Manhattan y se confina en un pueblo de Maine con su exmarido, William. Durante los siguientes meses quedarán ellos dos, compañeros después de tantos años, a solas con su complejo pasado en una pequeña casa junto a un mar impetuoso, una experiencia de la que saldrán transformados.

Inesperadamente, Lucy Barton se convierte en confidente y apoyo de William, su exmarido, el hombre con el que ha tenido dos hijas ya adultas, pero que ahora es casi un desconocido presa de terrores nocturnos y empecinado en desvelar el secreto de su madre.

Another day! And then another and another and another. It seemed as if it would all go on forever in that exquisitely boring and beautiful way. But of course it wouldn’t; everyone knows that. In this collection, Hilma Wolitzer invites us inside the private world of domestic bliss, seen mostly through the lens of Paulie and Howard’s gloriously ordinary marriage. From hasty weddings to meddlesome neighbours and ex-wives who just won’t leave, Wolitzer captures the tensions, contradictions and unexpected detours of daily life with wit, candour and an acutely observant eye.

Lucy Barton har svært ved at genvinde kræfterne efter en blindtarmsoperation. Hendes mor, som hun ikke har talt med i næsten tyve år, kommer og besøger hende på hospitalet på Manhattan. Småsladder om familie og bekendte fra den lille by i Illinois, hvor Lucy er vokset op, bringer dem lidt tættere på hinanden, men lige under overfladen syder de konflikter og længsler, der har formet hele Lucys tilværelse: hendes flugt fra en plaget opvækst, drømmen om at blive forfatter, hendes ægteskab, kærligheden til de to døtre.
