By Philippa Tracy
Elizabeth Strout has written a number of best-selling literary novels, featuring complex and recurring characters in small-town America. These include Olive Kitteridge , which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2009. Having read and enjoyed Olive Kitteridge and a number of her other novels, I read her debut Amy and Isabelle , first published in 1998.
This novel is set in the fictional mill town of Shirley Falls
