After seeing Elizabeth Strout at a reading of Olive Kitteridge this fall, I bought a copy of her earlier novel Amy and Isabelle.
The novel is about Isabelle and her daughter Amy, who is in high school. Strout explores the relationship between mother and daughter and the secrets between them.
It was an interesting book and Strout plays with the timeline, shifting from the oppressing heat of summer to the chill of the winter before, but Amy and Isabelle isn't as strong a work as Olive Kitteridge.
