    A beautifully human story
  

*by K***K on Reviewed in Germany on 14 February 2024*

“Her job as a writer of fiction was to report on the human condition” (p 98), and this is what Elizabeth Strout is pretty good at. In a comparatively small book with comparatively little text she lets her protagonist, Lucy Barton, look back on a time she had to spent in hospital, away from her two little children, away from her husband and her everyday duties. Her situation of having to stay in a hospital gives her room and time for reflection, but also for rare talks with her mother, who comes to visit her for five days. It’s obviously meant to be a story – a very troubled story – of a daughter and her mother, who were never close or dear with another. And still, there is still love and there’ll always be love. Strout manages to say the important things and, at the same time, leaves many things unsaid because they cannot be said due to the distance between mother and child. She astonishes the reader with this strange, distant relationship without judging the mother or leaving her unlikeable. Many of Lucy’s thoughts are being shared, concerning her writing (“And I thought: I will write and people will not feel so alone!” p 24, “Never ever defend your work.” p 107), her insecurities (“As has often been the case with me, I began to dread this in advance.” p 75), her motherhood or her marriage, which she knows at the point of writing will not last. (“There are days when I feel I Iove him more than I did when I was married to him, but that is an easy thing to think – we are free of each other, and yet not, and never will be.” p 148) They are common thoughts packed in a rather simple, lean language and sentence structure, often written just as she would speak them. And therein lies the beauty for me, because it made it so easy to dive into that world, every now and then recognizing Lucy’s thoughts as my own.

    Bartons’ New York Story
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in India on 16 February 2021*

What a lovely, breezy read! This is Lucy Barton and this is the story of her childhood and her life as a grown woman. Lucy is in hospital and her mother comes to visit her and that’s where the story really begins. It is the presence of her mother that takes her back to her home in Illinois. She revisits places, people she had known, the gossips of small town that seemed lost in her New York life. She begins looking into her own marriage, men whom she has admired and disliked, women whom she has loved and not forgotten. and all the kindness and heartlessness she has withstood from people she would never meet again. How common her life was to ours! This was a beautifully written novel. Strout writes with simplicity, with a tone that makes you want to sit down and breathe. That’s what her writing felt like, a breathe of air; you inhale and let go with every turn of the page. In such a small book, the author has said so many things and not for a second making it sound unreal or impossible. It really seemed as though Lucy isn’t fictional. She is real, she is someone you have known but never cared to listen to because your life was busy figuring out your story. It seemed she was a woman you would pass by on the street, or a neighbour looking out the window with a smile to acknowledge a bright, sunny day.

    Precisamos falar sobre Elizabeth Strout
  
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in Brazil on 24 April 2017*

Há muito pouco de Elizabeth Strout publicado no Brasil – infelizmente. Apenas seu penúltimo romance MY NAME IS LUCY BARTON (aqui, Meu nome é Lucy Barton, com tradução de Sara Grünhagen), o que é uma pena, pois os leitores brasileiros não estão tendo acesso a uma das maiores escritoras americanas da atualidade. Nem OLIVE KITTERIDGE, ganhador do Pulizer de Ficção em 2009 e base de uma série estrelada por Frances McDormand, ganhou uma tradução no Brasil.A obra da escritora tem ao centro personagens femininas e seus dilemas cotidianos. Há algo em Strout que lembra Alice Munro, embora o cenário seja outro, mas a delicadeza e precisão com que constróis perfis e tramas a partir destes a americana tem em comum com a canadense. O romance Lucy Barton é algo raro no gênero, sempre tão preocupado com a formação de personagens masculinos. Aqui temos um romance de formação que recusa o rótulo e traz como protagonista uma mulher.Narrada pela própria Lucy que tem a vantagem de olhar para o passado e revisitar episódios de sua vida, a trama se passa durante cinco noites nos anos de 1980, quando ela estava num hospital em Nova York, onde tirou o apêndice, mas ainda convalesce de uma doença que os médicos não conseguem diagnosticar. Inesperadamente sua mãe, com quem não fala há anos, aparece no hospital, e isso traz à tona memórias da infância.Os anos de formação da personagem são contados de forma quase factual. Strout não deixa se levar por sentimentalismos, sua precisão ajuda a dimensionalizar Lucy, e sua infância solitária, que, conforme ela confidencia, a levaram a se tornar uma escritora. E isso persiste até essa vida adulta, na qual é divorciada e mãe de duas filhas pequenas. E essa doença misteriosa que a mantém por meses no hospital? Poderia ser algo psicossomático que se cura com a presença da mãe e a reconciliação das duas.Apesar da mãe ser faladora, cheia de histórias sobre pessoas que as duas conhecem, ou conheciam, é nos silêncios que elas se entendem. É quando aquilo que não precisa ser dito emerge que elas podem olhar olhos nos olhos (nem que seja simbolicamente), ver a verdade de uma na outra. Strout parece conhecer isso muito bem. Suas personagens são repletas de nuances, assim como os laços que as une. É também um prazer encontrar um romance sobre a formação emocional e o amadurecimento de uma mulher – atualmente, Elena Ferrante, com seu quarteto napolitano é outra que tem feito isso – num gênero tão dominado pelos ritos de passagem de garotos para homens.
