Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout
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.
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.
