Olive, Again
Olive, Again

Olive Kitteridge: endearingly flawed, profoundly human.

If you're drawn to characters that are as real as the people next door, you’d likely appreciate "Olive, Again." Strout has a gift for crafting characters with all their complexities, making them leap off the page. Olive is not your typical heroine; she’s prickly, honest, and utterly human, making her story a reflection of our own struggles and triumphs. It's this deep empathy and Strout's keen observations that could make you nod in recognition and sigh with satisfaction.

Description

Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”
