I love this series- I started with the Wandering Inn Series by the same Author and now listen to this one as well, which diverges to a different continent and plot line in the same magical world. I am hundreds of hours in and still look forward to each new release!

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

At the insistence of her ex, writer Lucy Barton leaves NYC at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and moves with him to a seaside house in Maine. There they spend weeks in lockdown, visiting their children only sporadically. We see pandemic restrictions through their eyes: empty store shelves, masking, washing hands - and clothes after a trip to the grocery store - and distrust of outsiders. As weeks turn to months, each ponders their shared future, their past in NYC, and the complications and unhappy surprises as 2020 becomes 2021. Readers need not have read other Strout novels to enjoy this book, but those who have already met Lucy will appreciate this deep dive into her life.

We love Calvin and Hobbes!

It was a very good book. I liked the characters and I recommend buying it.

So scary and not what you would expect!

I read this for a bookclub, and it was not for me. The story follows the life of Isaac Dahl. This book isn’t that long, but the titular character’s life is (as promised) very long. The problem is, I never cared about the characters. They felt stiff. This felt like more of a catalog of events over time. Everything felt like an observation rather than emotion and personality driving action. I appreciate the LGBTQ representation in the first person protagonist but never really got into this audiobook I borrowed via Libby.

It was good because nat was trying her best to complete the trailton.

This book is good with not too much horror and lots of fun and suspense
