LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2025

It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a house next to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known - "unrecorded lives," Olive calls them - reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.

Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."

Strout is, as ever, wonderfully attentive to life’s inescapable cruelties and woes - Sunday Times

'The shrewd-eyed observer of love, loss and the ties that bind – life, basically – is back. Strout weaves a gossamer light web of a community’s hopes and setbacks.' - Observer

Strout’s ability to reveal the wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish - Telegraph

Elizabeth Strout welcomes us home again, back to the small town where we witness the interconnection of all the characters we've ever loved in her previous novels. It's a beautiful read reminding us that there is extraordinary love in ordinary actions. - Oprah Winfrey

Stunning, deeply felt and profoundly intelligent - Guardian

Strout delivers that most terrible and yet important of literary clichés: a book with heart - Financial Times

I'm looking forward to the return of another literary friend, Lucy Barton, when Elizabeth Strout publishes Tell Me Everything in August' - The Irish Times - The best books of 2024 so far

A stunner that unites beloved characters from her previous books... Strout's musing on life and the importance of storytelling are downright profound - People

Pathos and dry humour gild tender reflections on loneliness and connection, and the redemptive power of storytelling. - Observer

Above all, Tell Me Everything is a novel of moods, how they govern our personal lives and public spaces, reflected in Strout's shimmering technique - The Washington Post

Strout's gift is making readers stop and think about lives - from the exciting to the mundane - and that's what makes this book so appealing - Daily Mail

If you've never cracked the spine of a Strout novel before, don't sweat it - you'll feel like a Crosby, Maine, local by the end of the first chapter - Oprah Daily

Tell Me Everything offers readers an abundance of the searing and plainspoken insights for which Strout is beloved - New York Times Book Review

An exploration of love, loss and unnoticed lives, but most particularly an exploration of the power of stories and storytelling - Wall Street Journal
