Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout had no intention of writing any more about the crusty heroine of Olive Kitteridge; fortunately for us all, Olive fairly demanded that she tell these new stories. Prickly, wry, and resistant to change, yet bracingly honest and surprisingly empathetic, Olive struggles to understand not only her own life but also the lives of those around her in the little town of Crosby, Maine.
"Strout's stories form a cohesive novel, both sequel and culmination, that captures—with humor, compassion, and embarrassing detail—aging, loss, loneliness, and love … zeroing in on ordinary moments in the lives of ordinary people to highlight their extraordinary resilience."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
