It's hard to believe that a year after the astonishing My Name Is
Lucy Barton Elizabeth Strout could bring us another book that is by
every measure its equal, but what Strout proves to us again and
again is that where she's concerned, anything is possible. This
book, this writer, are magnificent.
*Ann Patchett, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of
'Commonwealth'*
This is a shimmering masterpiece of a book...Strout is a brilliant
chronicler of the ambiguity and delicacy of the human condition.
Anything is Possible is a wise, stunning novel
*Observer*
The words appear on the page as if breathed there
*Sunday Telegraph*
Anything is Possible is wonderfully readable because Strout really
can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her,
in that house, that life, that little Podunk of a place
*The Times*
Strout's compassion for her fellow creatures, as these anguished,
lean stories prove, is as keen as a whip and all the more painful
for it
*Guardian*
The work of Elizabeth Strout suggests that she pays a similar
quality of unseparate attention to life, which she - not passively,
but actively - takes in, listening to, looking into it, reflecting
up on and freeing it once more, remade, in beautifully placed
words, onto the page to live again for us, her fortunate
readers
*Daily Telegraph*
Anything is Possible is absolutely wonderful. Here is a writer at
the peak of her powers: compassionate, profoundly observant,
laser-cut diamond brilliant
*Literary Review*
Anything Is Possible confirms Strout as one of our most
grace-filled, and graceful, writers
*Boston Globe*
There is immense humanity in Strout's writing....her masterful
economy of prose creates a rich tapestry infused with emotional
wisdom...Anything is Possible is a masterpiece
*Sunday Express*
A quietly gripping deception of some of the ordinary, messy,
interwoven lives that Lucy and her mother discussed in the earlier
book
*Radio Times*
