In most ways, Isabelle and Amy are like any mother and her 16-year-old daughter, a fierce mix of love and loathing exchanged in their every glance. But when Amy is discovered behind the steamed-up windows of a car with her math teacher, the vast and icy distance between mother and daughter becomes apparently unbridgeable. In this stunning novel, Strout evokes a teenagers alienation from her distant mother and a parents rage at the discovery of her daughters sexual secrets. Before there was Olive Kitteridge, there was Amy and Isabelle... A novel of shining integrity and humor, about the bravery and hard choices of what is called ordinary life.--Alice Munro Pulitzer Prize winning author Elizabeth Strouts bestselling and award winning debut, Amy and Isabelle--adapted for television by Oprah Winfrey-- evokes a teenagers alienation from her distant mother--and a parents rage at the discovery of her daughters sexual secrets. In most ways, Isabelle and Amy are like any mother and her 16-year-old daughter, a fierce mix of love and loathing exchanged in their every glance. That they eat, sleep, and work side by side in the gossip-ridden mill town of Shirley Falls--a location fans of Strout will recognize from her critically acclaimed novel, The Burgess Boys--only increases the tension. And just when it appears things cant get any worse, Amys sexuality begins to unfold, causing a vast and icy rift between mother and daughter that will remain unbridgeable unless Isabelle examines her own secretive and shameful past. A Readers Guide is included in the paperback edition of this powerful first novel by the author who brought Olive Kitteridge to millions of readers.
