Strout works in the realm of everyday speech, conjuring repetitions, gaps and awkwardness with plain language and forthright diction, yet at the same time unleashing a tidal urgency that seems to come out of nowhere even as it operates in plain sight.The New York Times Book Review Strout managed to make me love this strange woman Id never met, who I knew nothing about.
