About This Book
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other
times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores
the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at
large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her:
a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has
lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by
her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his
loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.
As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is
brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life -- sometimes
painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers
profound insights into the human condition -- its conflicts, its
tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.
"Perceptive, deeply empathetic . . . Olive is the axis around which
these thirteen complex, relentlessly human narratives spin themselves
into Elizabeth Strout’s unforgettable novel in stories." -- O: The Oprah
Magazine
"Fiction lovers, remember this name: Olive Kitteridge. . . . You’ll
never forget her. . . . [Elizabeth Strout] constructs her stories with
rich irony and moments of genuine surprise and intense emotion. . . .
Glorious, powerful stuff." --USA Today
"Funny, wicked and remorseful, Mrs. Kitteridge is a compelling life
force, a red-blooded original. When she’s not onstage, we look forward
to her return. The book is a page-turner because of her." --San
Francisco Chronicle
