Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout

5.0

Like a warm hug for anyone who grew up in a broken or impoverished home, “Oh, William” deftly contrasts William, privileged happy upbringing with Lucy, optimistic though someone who had to work her way out of poverty. How their lives mingle and how a family secret brings forth their contrasting perspectives is mastery. Like any master, Strout makes it look easy when we know it cannot be.
