Summary
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Olive Kitteridge and My Name is Lucy Barton comes a “deeply moving” (The Washington Post) novel that “confirms Strout as the possessor of an irresistibly companionable, peculiarly American voice” (The Atlantic Monthly).

“Superb . . . a shimmering tale of loss, faith, and human fallibility.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

In the late 1950s, in a small New England town, Reverend Tyler Caskey has suffered a terrible loss and finds it hard to be the person he once was. He struggles to find the right words in his sermons and in his conversations with those facing crises of their own, and to bring his five-year-old daughter, Katherine, out of the silence she has observed in the wake of the family’s tragedy. Tyler’s usually patient and kind congregation now questions his leadership and propriety, and accusations are born out of anger and gossip. Then, in Tyler’s darkest hour, a startling discovery will test his parish’s humanity—and his own will to endure the trials that sooner or later test us all.

I loved this book! Beautifully written. Although this is a dark and somber story encompassing secrets and struggles that go on behind closed doors, the impact of negative (and positive) messages learned from the adults in our lives, and the damaging affects of gossip, the heartwarming ending is incredibly inspirational. Truth and kindness work its way to the surface when love breaks through.
