露西·巴顿是一位生活在纽约的成功作家，作为一个寡妇和两个成年女儿的母亲，她正在思考自己的后半生。一次意外的邂逅使她与她的前任丈夫--也是长期以来时好时坏的朋友和知己--重新取得联系。斯特劳特回顾了他们的大学时代、女儿的出生、痛苦的婚姻解体以及他们与其他人一起建立的生活，编织了一幅温柔、复杂、长达数十年的伙伴关系的肖像，其微妙之处令人惊叹。

《哦，威廉！》捕捉到了看着孩子们长大并建立自己的家庭的喜悦和悲伤；在生命的晚期发现了家庭的秘密，改变了我们认为对亲近的人的一切了解；以及人们克服一切困难生活和爱的方式。这个故事的核心是露西·巴顿令人难忘、不屈不挠的声音，她再次对存在的奥秘进行了深刻、持久的思考。这就是生活的方式，"露西说。'许多事情我们不知道，直到为时已晚'。

THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The Pulitzer Prize-winning, Booker-longlisted, bestselling author returns to her beloved heroine Lucy Barton in a luminous novel about love, loss, and the family secrets that can erupt and bewilder us at any point in life

Lucy Barton is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband - and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its subtlety, of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership.

Oh William! captures the joy and sorrow of watching children grow up and start families of their own; of discovering family secrets, late in life, that alter everything we think we know about those closest to us; and the way people live and love, against all odds. At the heart of this story is the unforgettable, indomitable voice of Lucy Barton, who once again offers a profound, lasting reflection on the mystery of existence. 'This is the way of life,' Lucy says. 'The many things we do not know until it is too late.'
