作者: Elizabeth Strout Random House 2017 - 4
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss in this new work of fiction by #1 bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout.
A Washington Post and New York Times Notable Book • One of USA Today’s top 10 books of the year
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.
Here are two sisters: One trades self-respect for a wealthy husband while the other finds in the pages of a book a kindred spirit who changes her life. The janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help; a grown daughter longs for mother love even as she comes to accept her mother’s happiness in a foreign country; and the adult Lucy Barton (the heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton, the author’s celebrated New York Times bestseller) returns to visit her siblings after seventeen years of absence.
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.

读过 Anything Is Possible 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
第一部病房母女谈话扩写,童年邻居follow-up八卦。无端想起短经典系列那本书的题目,死水恶波,虽然积读好几年了至今没翻开,但幻想一种闭塞北美小镇吃人。
很好笑从小对八卦不感兴趣以至于这本听得我头晕,like,等下这个人和你什么关系,我为什么要关心她的命运。很多时候真的不关心,哪怕那么多关于性和婚姻的丑闻都腐烂变质恶臭远扬。
最喜欢还是Sister那章,Lucy本人返乡记。更清晰的叙事线更清晰的无助,像鸵鸟一样压抑回忆以至于骗过自己,直到一回到Amgash,童年袭来依然引起惊恐发作。那个她拼命逃走的家,贫穷和贫瘠相伴,痛苦滋生耻辱,让人不得不在中年再度连夜逃到芝加哥才得到喘息。
