ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“My Name is Lucy Barton” by Elizabeth Strout tells the story of Lucy Barton, a woman reflecting on her complicated past while recovering from an illness in a New York City hospital. Estranged from her family, especially her emotionally distant mother, Lucy grapples with her childhood in poverty and her search for connection. Through the lens of her relationships, particularly with her mother and husband, the novel explores themes of loneliness, memory, trauma, and the desire for love and forgiveness. Strout’s writing delicately examines the complexities of family dynamics and personal healing.
