Prickly, wry, resistant to change however ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA Chronicle). The New Yorker has stated that Elizabeth Strout “animates the normal with an astonishing power,” and she’s never done therefore more obviously than in these web pages, where in fact the iconic Olive problems 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 conditions with the increased loss of her father, a young female about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune minute, a nurse who confesses a key senior high school crush, or an attorney who problems with an inheritance she will not want to simply accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us-in Strout’s phrases-“to bear the burden of the secret with as very much grace as we can.”

Compliment for Olive, Once again

“Olive is a brilliant creation not only because of her eternal cantankerousness but because she’s as brutally candid with herself about her shortcomings seeing that she actually is with others. Her credibility makes people strangely ready to confide in her, and the natural power of Ms. Strout’s writing comes from these unvarnished exchanges, where people reveal themselves in every of their sadness and badness and misunderstandings. . . . The great, horrible mess of living is normally spilled out over the pages of the moving book. Ms. Strout may not possess any answers for this, but she isn’t scared of it either.”-The Wall Street Journal
