The Things We Never Say

I read The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout over a period of 10 days. I read it slowly, with deliberation. I must say that I was deeply affected by Artie's story. How I wish I knew others who have read it, because I'm longing to discuss it. I feel lonely not being able to talk about it, actually. I will say that the novel was the most moving book I've read in a very long time. I was deeply affected by Artie's increasing closeness with his son--that was a wonderful part of the book. The things he never said haunted me.

The only other book I've read by Strout is Olive Kitteridge, which I liked and admired. But The Things We Never Say was a much deeper reading experience. 

Do you have other books by Strout that you would particularly recommend?  

The past week was a particularly exhausting one, so just a brief post today.
