ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Oh William!” by Elizabeth Strout follows Lucy, a woman reflecting on her past and present relationships, particularly with her first husband, William. After his unexpected request for help, Lucy revisits their shared history, exploring their emotional connection, the complexities of their marriage, and the impact of their respective pasts. Through Lucy’s introspective voice, the novel delves into themes of grief, memory, identity, and the enduring influence of family dynamics. Strout examines the ways in which personal struggles shape one’s sense of self, all while exploring the universal nature of love, loss, and resilience in human relationships.
