Abide With Me by Elizabeth Strout

5.0

I'm surprised I loved this even more than [b:Amy and Isabelle|167216|Amy and Isabelle|Elizabeth Strout|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348311763l/167216._SY75_.jpg|3356874]! Tyler Caskey is a minister in late 1950s New England. The story is an exploration of grief and a crisis of faith, treated with respect and subtlety. I love how Strout builds small-town community dynamics between all of her realistic and carefully drawn characters. A wonderful novel that had me tearing up throughout.
