Recently read Elizabeth Strout's My Name is Lucy Barton trilogy, and reread Olive, Again, the sequel to Olive Kitteridge. She won the Pulitzer for Olive Kitteridge.
She is magnificent in drawing and fleshing out characters. Not action packed novels, but weirdness, sadness and happiness abound.
Am now reading Ann Patchett, Commonwealth. Just finished State of Wonder, about a pharma co doc traveling to the Amazon to figure out why another doc supposedly died while checking on another doc doing research on fertility drug development within a local tribe. The whole Amazon experience is entrancing, surprise ending.
Again, an author just so skilled in pulling you into peeps' minds, and on and on.
I think I read The Magician's Assistant way back, but can't remember.
