The popular and critically acclaimed first novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Elizabeth Strout, Amy and Isabelle, which Oprah Winfrey adapted for television, captures the alienation of a girl from her absent mother and the anger of a parent upon learning of her daughter's sexual secrets.
Most of the time, Isabelle and Amy are just like any mother and her sixteen-year-old daughter; they exchange a passionate mixture of hate and love with each look. The fact that they live and work next to one other in Shirley Falls, a gossip-filled mill town that readers of Strout's highly acclaimed book The Burgess Boys will remember, further heightens the tension. And just when you think things can't get any worse, Amy's sexuality comes to light, resulting in a deep and bitter divide between mother and daughter that won't go away until Isabelle looks into her own shameful and private history.
The paperback version of this influential first book by the man who introduced millions of readers to Olive Kitteridge comes with a Reader's Guide.
