Amy and Isabelle

Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy and Isabelle are ordinary women who live ordinary lives. But through their ordinary lives the reader discovers a hint of extraordinary courage. The courage to finally let go. Isabelle moves to Shirley Falls with a secret that she keeps very well. Amy has a secret too. She meets and falls in love with an older man who happens to be her math teacher. And when her mother finds out, their lives are changed forever. Elizabeth Strout tells an unforgettable story filled with characters who you will cry with and laugh with. Every mother will want to take Amy into her arms and comfort her and every daughter will beg Isabelle to just understand the plight of her teenage daughter. An extraordinary book about ordinary people you will never forget.
