"My Name is Lucy Barton" by Elizabeth Strout
This is a story of the relationship between a mother and daughter. They have not seen each other in years but an illness brings them together once again. Old wounds are opened and some are never closed. It was a good story of how our history shapes our lives but the bouncing around made it feel jumbled to me. The book did tug at my heart, making me think of my own relationship with my mother and famiy secrets that I so badly want to uncover but will probably never take the opportunity. It was overall an easy read but I have yet to decide if I want to read another one of her books.
