Elizabeth Strout - Author

Talking Books

Available for over a year

The Pulitzer prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge, Elizabeth Strout, is in conversation with George Alagiah at Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts. Her new title Anything is Possible takes the form of linked short stories which tell the story of the inhabitants of rural, dusty Amgash, Illinois, the hometown of Lucy Barton, a successful New York writer who finally returns, after 17 years of absence, to visit the siblings she left behind. Elizabeth Strout is noted for the profound wisdom she brings to her nuanced depictions of human relationships. (Photo: Author Elizabeth Strout attends the Olive Kitteridge New York Premiere, 2014.
