Description
The first novel featuring Olive Kitteridge, from the author of Olive, Again and Oh William!, introduces an indomitable, compassionate and often unpredictable woman. A retired schoolteacher in a small coastal town in Maine, Olive grows older while struggling to make sense of the changes in her life. She sees into the hearts of those around her, witnessing their triumphs and tragedies. This penetrating and vibrant exploration of the human soul can make readers laugh, nod in recognition, wince in pain and shed a tear or two. It has been described by the Evening Standard as “as perfect a novel as you will ever read”, while Hilary Mantel called Elizabeth Strout “a superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own”.
