Amy and Isabelle
of Elizabeth Strout
Description
Pulitzer Prize winning author Elizabeth Stroutâs bestselling and award winning debut, Amy and Isabelleâadapted for television by Oprah Winfreyâ evokes a teenager's alienation from her distant motherâand a parent's rage at the discovery of her daughter's sexual secrets.In most ways, Isabelle and Amy are like any mother and her 16-year-old daughter, a fierce mix of love and loathing exchanged in their every glance. That they eat, sleep, and work side by side in the gossip-ridden mill town of Shirley Fallsâa location fans of Strout will recognize from her critically acclaimed novel, The Burgess Boysâonly increases the tension. And just when it appears things can't get any worse, Amy's sexuality begins to unfold, causing a vast and icy rift between mother and daughter that will remain unbridgeable unless Isabelle examines her own secretive and shameful past.A Reader's Guide is included in the paperback edition of this powerful first novel by the author who brought Olive Kitteridge to millions of readers.
