Olive Kitteridge
of Elizabeth Strout
Series: Olive Kitteridge #1
Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition â its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.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 doesnât 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; Oliveâs 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 â sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty.
