A review by leslie_maughan
Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout

4.0

I love Strout’s writing and beautiful word choice. This is a moving story about a small town minister who has lost his wife. It’s about grief and, I think, what happens to someone when they won’t allow themselves to grieve. It also has some powerful lessons about the potential for rumors to really hurt people. There are many deep reflections on God and people in the book.
