Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. ![]() BookPage - LibraryReads - Minneapolis Star Tribune - St. The Washington Post - The New York Times Book Review. ![]() NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Soon to be a Broadway play starring Laura Linney produced by Manhattan Theatre Club and London Theatre Company.
