Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout

Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The debut novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge evokes a teenager's alienation from her distant mother, and a parent's rage at the discovery of her daughter's secrets.

"One of those rare, invigorating books that take an apparently familiar world and peer into it with ruthless intimacy, revealing a strange and startling place."--The New York Times Book Review

Before there was Olive Kitteridge, there was Amy and Isabelle...

In most ways, Isabelle and Amy are like any mother and her 16-year-old daughter, a fierce mix of love and loathing exchanged in their every glance. That they eat, sleep, and work side by side in the gossip-ridden mill town of Shirley Falls--a location fans of Strout will recognize from her critically acclaimed novel, The Burgess Boys--only increases the tension. And just when it appears things can't get any worse, Amy's sexuality begins to unfold, causing a vast and icy rift between mother and daughter that will remain unbridgeable unless Isabelle examines her own secretive and shameful past.

A Reader's Guide is included in this powerful first novel by the author who brought Olive Kitteridge to millions of readers.

Elizabeth Strout is the author of four novels, including Olive Kitteridge, which won the Pulitzer Prize, and The Burgess Boys, which was published last year. She is a New Yorker.
