Amy and Isabelle, also stylized as Amy & Isabelle, is the 1998 debut novel by the American author Elizabeth Strout. The novel was first published in hardback on December 29, 1998 through Random House and is set in the fictional town of Shirley Falls, a location that Strout would revisit in her 2013 novel The Burgess Boys. Strout would also revisit the character of Isabelle in her 2019 short story cycle Olive, Again. The novel follows the close relationship between Isabelle and her teenage daughter Amy, and how their relationship becomes strained after Amy is groomed by her much older math teacher. The novel was adapted into a 2001 television movie of the same name as part of the "Oprah Winfrey Presents" line of films. Source: Wikipedia (en)
