William is quick to see which way the wind is blowing as Covid grips Europe, whisking the sceptical Lucy off to the coastal town of Crosby where his friend, Bob Burgess, has found them a house to rent.
It’s odd how the mind does not take in anything until it can. Lucy and her ex-husband, William, spend the first year of the pandemic in Maine where Lucy’s life, like many others, is changed in surprising sometimes shocking ways. I wondered if she was becoming little overexposed but knew I’d read it anyway. Unusually for me, I had mixed feelings when I saw a new Elizabeth Strout in the schedules: Lucy by the Sea is Lucy Barton’s third outing, the second in a year, and it’s a pandemic novel.
