Lucy Barton is torn from her life in Manhattan and sent to a tiny hamlet in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again, off-again buddy, William, as a terrified world slips into lockdown. In a little home tucked away against the gloomy, turbulent sea, Lucy, William, and their complicated past are all that is there for the ensuing few months.

“A moving story about a divorced couple locked together during the lockdown, and the love, grief, despair, and hope that enliven us even when the world appears to be crumbling apart.”

The Book Guide® Editor

The dread and difficulties that come with solitude, as well as the optimism, calm, and possibilities that those long, peaceful days might inspire, are beautifully depicted in this novel, which is replete with empathy and compassion. Deep human relationships that bind us together even when we are away, the agony of a loved one’s suffering, the void left by their passing, the hope of a new friendship, and the consolation of an old, eternal love are at the core of this narrative.

All the Light We Cannot See (2014)

All the Light We Cannot See is an epic novel about a blind French young girl and a German boy during World War II. Marie Laure lives with his father in Paris, just across from the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the Master of the Locks. When she was six, she lost her sight, and her father built a model of their neighbourhood for her, every house, every road, so she could memorise it with her fingers and navigate the real streets with her stick. The novel alternates between these two characters, follows them as they grow up from the 1930s and 1940s in France and Germany, and shows their parallel stories.
