From a
simple hospital visit comes a tender story about a relationship between one daughter
and her mother.
Lucy is
slowly recovering from surgery. Her
mother, with whom she hasn’t spoken in many years, appears at her bedside. Over the course of five days, the two
exchange gossip from the past. These
stories seem to reconnect them. Below
the surface though lies tension that governed Lucy’s life and caused her to
escape her troubled family, helped her become a writer, divorce her husband and
define her love of two daughters. Strout
tugs at our heartstrings as Lucy’s life unfolds because we, too, can identify
with incidents similar to our lives.
Short and bitter-sweet.
