The Booker Prizes, Longlist: The Things We Never Say, by Elizabeth Strout, July 28, 2026.
TIME: "How Elizabeth Strout Gets Inside People's Minds"
““Strout’s ability to breathe life into these non-superheroes, to create recognizable, flawed, sympathetic, interesting humans, has won her a huge following and many honors, including the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Olive Kitteridge.””

Cover Reveal: The Things We Never Say
I’m excited to announce my new book, THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY, coming out May 5. I’ve stepped away from Maine and the world of characters in the Olive Kitteridge and the Lucy Barton books. My new book is set on the Massachusetts coast and introduces a whole new set of characters. I hope you’ll come to love them as much as I do!
Special thanks to the designer of the gorgeous cover Anna Kochman, featuring a painting from O. Vaering / Bridgeman Images. I love the subtle brushwork on the moon’s reflection in the water, the ripple breaking up the reflection, and the hint of a line of clouds in the sky. Altogether magical.
