Trade Review
“Companion is the appropriate word for Katherine Montwieler’s study of the works of Elizabeth Strout. With her careful analysis and gentle invitation to notice, among other things, the ‘quiet kindnesses, unexpected acts of grace’ of Strout’s characters, the author makes space in this book for enthusiastic readers, fans, and scholars alike to honor Strout’s stories and their centrality to our contemporary literary landscape."
