This the second time I have read my name is Lucy Barton. It is very poignant and almost akin to a good psychotherapy session, there is much to learn about the human condition and how we all struggle though our lives. I have read all of her novels, several of them twice and on each reading I gain a new insight. As Lucy is told when on a writing workshop- you only have one story in you, with many connected others. This I value in her style, as we get to know a host of others who form part of her one story. This true for all of us, we all have one story with a cast of others who play support roles, either as co principals or bit parts. As for Olive Ketteridge - what a woman, still growing while in residential housing, hope for me yet, Elizabeth Waddell
