Genre/Form
Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn`t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Her unexpected visit forces Lucy to confront the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of her life: her impoverished childhood in Amgash, Illinois, her escape to New York and her desire to become a writer, her faltering 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. In "My Name is Lucy Barton", one of America`s finest writers shows how a simple hospital visit illuminates the most tender relationship of all-the one between mother and daughter.
