Tell Me Everything
by Elizabeth Strout
There is a murder in this survey of the 50-90-year-old segment of Crosby, Maine, centered on Bob Burgess, his marriage to Margaret, and his friendship/crush with Lucy Barton, but that's not the central thrust. Some of the most delightful episodes are the stories Lucy swaps with Olive Kitteridge, melancholy examples of how messy lives are, giving us—and them—relief that our lives aren't that bad just this moment. Still, I'd think Lucy and Olive might have something more substantial to conclude from these sessions than they do.
