Tell Me Everything

The new novel from Booker-shortlisted, Pulitzer Prize-winning Elizabeth Strout—is available for pre-order now. TELL ME EVERYTHING is a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the universal desire to leave a lasting impact. It’s autumn in Maine, and Bob Burgess, the town lawyer, is caught up in a murder investigation, defending a lonely man accused of killing his mother.

At the same time, he forms a deep friendship with Lucy Barton, an acclaimed writer who lives by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob share walks, reflecting on life, fears, regrets, and missed opportunities.

Meanwhile, Lucy is introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now in a nearby retirement community. They spend afternoons in Olive’s apartment, sharing stories of “unrecorded lives”—reanimating memories and finding meaning in their experiences. Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING showcases Elizabeth Strout at her best, illuminating the power of relationships to sustain us.

As Lucy observes, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."
