NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Olive Kitteridge and My Name is Lucy Barton explores the mysteries of marriage and the secrets we keep, as a former couple reckons with where they’ve come from—and what they’ve left behind.

ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air

“Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favorite writers, so the fact that Oh William! may well be my favorite of her books is a mathematical equation for joy. The depth, complexity, and love contained in these pages is a miraculous achievement.”—Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House


I would like to say a few things about my first husband, William.

Lucy Barton is a writer, but her ex-husband, William, remains a hard man to read. William, she confesses, has always been a mystery to me. Another mystery is why the two have remained connected after all these years. They just are.

So Lucy is both surprised and not surprised when William asks her to join him on a trip to investigate a recently uncovered family secret—one of those secrets that rearrange everything we think we know about the people closest to us. There are fears and insecurities, simple joys and acts of tenderness, and revelations about affairs and other spouses, parents and their children. On every page of this exquisite novel we learn more about the quiet forces that hold us together—even after we’ve grown apart.

Dear Listener,

What do I hope you will take away from Oh William!?
"This is what I hope the reader will feel after reading Oh William!, which is what I hope readers will feel after reading any of my books. I hope to provide a momentary sense of transcendence. What I mean by that is, I hope the reader will feel—even for a few moments—that a ceiling has been lifted. That they will see the world differently, that they will feel less alone in it, and they will find themselves in some of my characters. I also hope they will understand what it feels like to be a different person, because in this way literature can help the empathy muscle stay intact. And we all know what this world looks like without empathy." –- Elizabeth Strout, writer of Oh William!
