Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMy Name Is Lucy Barton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"It is Lucy's gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her mother's shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds . . .
