Oprah Winfrey's latest book club selection is Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, Winfrey said Tuesday. This marks the second time Strout has been featured, with Winfrey having selected Olive, Again in 2019. The new novel revisits fictional Crosby, Maine, and characters like Olive Kitteridge and Lucy Barton. Strout's 2009 work, Olive Kitteridge, won a Pulitzer Prize and was turned into an Emmy-winning HBO miniseries starring Frances McDormand. Other acclaimed titles by Strout include Amy and Isabelle and My Name Is Lucy Barton. How Strout characterized the selection, "The second time she called me was absolutely astonishing!"

Winfrey lauded Strout's novel, stating, "Elizabeth Strout welcomes us home again, back to the small town where we witness the interconnection of all the characters we've ever loved in her previous novels." Highlighting the essence of the book, Winfrey described it as "a beautiful read reminding us that there is extraordinary love in ordinary actions." Strout was equally heavy with the compliments: "To me Oprah is a rock star." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
