Elizabeth Strout - Tudo é Possível

Lucy Barton, a famous writer, returns to her childhood town in the heart of the American Midwest. Copies of her latest book are on display in the local bookstore, and all the residents of the small town want to buy them. Out of envy, curiosity, or nostalgia.
Her unexpected return sparks a series of stories from those who knew her as a girl: testimonies of nostalgia, condescension, or rejection, bittersweet memories.

Seventeen years later, her return to her childhood home is also, necessarily, a reunion with the past; with her sister Vicky, so quick to reproach; and with her brother Pete, a man-child still carrying the weight of a childhood filled with cold, hunger, and fear.

Following the success of "My Name is Lucy Barton," Elizabeth Strout returns with a delicate mosaic of everyday life, an intimate portrait of ordinary people trying to understand themselves and others, striving to overcome the ever-growing abyss between wanting and having.

By offering a glimpse into the ambiguities and ambivalences of the human soul, "Everything is Possible" is a hymn to sensitivity and compassion.
