Description
A beautiful new edition of Elizabeth Strout's tender, brilliant debut novel
Amy & Isabelle tells the story of Isabelle Goodrow, who has been living in self-imposed exile with her daughter Amy for 15 years. Shamed by her past and her affair with Amy's father, she has submerged herself in the routine of her dead-end job and her unrequited love for her boss.
However, when Amy, frustrated by her quiet and unemotional mother, begins an illicit affair with her maths teacher, the disgrace deeply intensifies the shame Isabelle feels about her own past.
Throughout one long, sweltering summer, as the events of the small town ebb and flow around them, Amy and Isabelle exist in silent conflict. This tension continues until a final act ultimately leads to the understanding they both crave.
