From Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout comes a poignant, pitch-perfect novel about a former couple in lockdown together―and the love, loss, despair, and hope that animate us even as the world seems to be falling apart.With her trademark spare, crystalline prose―a voice infused with “intimate, fragile, desperate humanness” (The Washington Post)―Elizabeth Strout once again turns her exquisitely-tuned eye to the inner workings of the human heart, this time following the indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton and Oh William! through the early days of the pandemic. As a panicked world goes into lockdown, Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and longtime friend, William.

A veteran British journalist living in Hong Kong investigates the disappearance of a student protester in this atmospheric novel from the New York Times notable author of The Forgiven―soon to be a major motion picture.“There came a sound of rubber bullets being fired along Java Road and the sad crowing of sirens as if to herald a future even more unpleasant than the present.”After twenty years as a journalist in Hong Kong, ex-pat Englishman Adrian Gyle has very little to show for it. Evenings are whiled away with soup dumplings and tea at Fung Shing, the restaurant downstairs from his home on Java Road, that “most melancholy street in the city, the street where the dead congregated.” It is through these jaded eyes that Gyle watches the city around him--once overflowing with wine dinners and private members’ clubs--erupt in violence as pro-democracy demonstrations hit ever closer to home. But just as Gyle prepares to turn his back on Hong Kong, he finds one last intrigue: the alluring R
