Anything is Possible (Paperback)

'This is a shimmering masterpiece of a book...Strout is a brilliant chronicler of the ambiguity and delicacy of the human condition. Anything is Possible is a wise, stunning novel' - Observer 

'...wonderfully readable…Strout can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her' - The Times 

'The words appear on the page as if breathed there' - Sunday Telegraph

'Anything is Possible is wonderfully readable because Strout really can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her, in that house, that life, that little Podunk of a place.' - The Times

'Strout's compassion for her fellow creatures, as these anguished, lean stories prove, is as keen as a whip and all the more painful for it.' - Guardian

'The work of Elizabeth Strout suggests that she pays a similar quality of unseparate attention to life, which she - not passively, but actively - takes in, listening to, looking into it, reflecting up on and freeing it once more, remade, in beautifully placed words, onto the page to live again for us, her fortunate readers.' - Daily Telegraph

'The writing is wrenchingly lovely. It almost always is with Strout, whether she's knitting metaphors or summarizing, with agonizing economy, whole episodes.' - New York Times

'There are not many novelists out there producing writing as good as this.' - Daily Mail

'Highly enjoyable.' - Sunday Times

'A subtle, disturbing and touching book that is a miracle of wisdom and perception.' - Mail on Sunday
