As fall begins to roll along, we’re looking at our celebrity favorite book clubs to add to our upcoming fall reading list. After all, there’s nothing quite like reading among the red and orange leaves in the fall breeze.
Just last week, Reese Witherspoon announced her September pick, The Comfort of Crows by Margaret Renkl. Now, a week after adding Witherspoon’s book to our shopping cart, Oprah Winfrey is chiming in with her suggestion.
“I’m really happy to share a book that I think is perfect for this time of year, it’s Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout,” Winfrey said in her Instagram announcement.
“[Strout’s] delivered another heartfelt and a beautiful story, returning to the fictional town of Crosby, Maine, to delve into the interconnected lives and loves of all the residences there,” Winfrey continued. “Tell Me Everything has all the things, romance, mystery, secrets and even a possible murder experienced through the unrecorded lives of just ordinary folks.”
While the book can be read as a standalone novel, many of Strout’s characters from her previous novels, including Winfrey’s other recommendation Olive, Again, reappear in this story. But if you’ve never read any of Strout’s work, rest assured you won’t be missing anything. “Everything you need to do is contained in the pages of this marvelous book,” Winfrey said.
'Tell Me Everything: A Novel' by Elizabeth Strout
Curious about reading it? Here’s the full synopsis! “It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother,” the official description of the novel reads. “He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William.”
“Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been,” the description teases. “Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known—’unrecorded lives,’ Olive calls them—reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.”
