“Amy and Isabelle” by Elizabeth Strout
Published by VintageListened to the audio – finished 3/2/15
3/5 stars for me
A single mother and her teenage daughter in a small town in
the 70s, each trying to define themselves.
Overall, this was a good story but I felt there were parts that didn’t
belong or just didn’t fit, if that makes sense.
There were also relationships that I felt should have been expanded on
rather than just touched on – they would have brought more depth.
I picked this up because I enjoyed the author’s two most
recent books. This is her first novel –
her writing has definitely grown over the years.
