About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Anything Is Possible by Elizabeth Strout, read by Kimberly Farr.

An unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss from the number one New York Times best-selling and Man Booker long-listed author of My Name Is Lucy Barton

Recalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others.

Anything Is Possible tells the story of the inhabitants of rural, dusty Amgash, Illinois, the hometown of Lucy Barton, a successful New York writer who finally returns, after 17 years of absence, to visit the siblings she left behind. Reverberating with the deep bonds of family and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors.

I really enjoyed meeting the characters created in this book. There is an illusion to Lucy Barton, but she is not really centre stage. Each chapter leads from one character's story to another with slender links between them an insights into both sides of the relationships and the dynamics of the families. It deals with issues of prejudice and the ability of people to make something of themselves. All the people seem real and credible enough that you could meet them in life and recognise them.

Intriguing tales of middle America

when I finished listening to this I wondered which story would I go back and listen to again but I decided almost immediately that I would go back to the start and enjoy the book all over again. The first listen is to hear the story and the second listen is to fully appreciate the beauty of the language, which is narrated brilliantly. I would rate Ms Farr in the to 5 Audible narrators. She brings so much to each character that you can forget that it's just one person narrating.

Such a pleasure

Entertaining, loved the characters, slow pace may frustrate some but it added to my enjoyment. One couple maybe a bit too bizarre but generally a great listen and wonderful characters.

Do read all the other reviews, some are very erudite, mostly all extremely positive. This book really moved me. It is so heart rending. In my view even better than My Name Is Lucy Barton and Oh William. The lives of all the characters are written about so poignantly by Elisabeth Strout. Great narration.
