Lucy Barton and her ex-husband William are not likable people. I kept thinking about this as I read Oh William and found myself totally absorbed in their story. Both are damaged, both are self-centered, and both are missing love, but somehow they both had my sympathy. As the phrase "Oh William" repeats throughout the book, I thought "Oh Elizabeth Strout," you've done it again. The language sings throughout this unhappy story.
