Summary

Lucy Barton har svært ved at genvinde kræfterne efter en blindtarmsoperation. Hendes mor, som hun ikke har talt med i næsten tyve år, kommer og besøger hende på hospitalet på Manhattan.

Småsladder om familie og bekendte fra den lille by i Illinois, hvor Lucy er vokset op, bringer dem lidt tættere på hinanden, men lige under overfladen syder de konflikter og længsler, der har formet hele Lucys tilværelse: hendes flugt fra en plaget opvækst, drømmen om at blive forfatter, hendes ægteskab, kærligheden til de to døtre.

"Mit navn er Lucy Barton" er et lavmælt og skarpt kvindeportræt; et usentimentalt blik ind i en ussel og fattigdomsramt barndom i det amerikanske Midtvesten, og en livsklog og bevægende fortælling om forholdet mellem en mor og en datter.
