A dazzling portrait of one woman's life
Olive Kitteridge - the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel
This beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, turned into an Emmy Award-winning HBO mini-series, is an extraordinary story about an ordinary woman's life, and a vibrant exploration of all that connects us. The story of Olive Kitteridge will make you laugh, nod in recognition, wince in pain, and shed a tear or two.
'As perfect a novel as you will ever read. . . So astonishingly good that I shall be reading it once a year for the foreseeable future and very probably for the rest of my life.'Evening Standard
Olive Kitteridge is a complex woman. Described by some as indomitable and by others as compassionate, she herself has always been certain that she is absolutely right about everything. A retired schoolteacher in a small coastal town in Maine, as she grows older she struggles to make sense of the changes in her life.
Through different narratives, telling the triumphs and tragedies of those around her, and spanning years, Olive's story emerges. We meet her stoic husband, bound to her in a marriage both broken and strong, and a young man pained by loss - whom Olive comforts by her mere presence, while her own son feels overwhelmed by her sensitivities.

Strout,E.:Olive Kitteridge
Olive might not be the quintessence of pleasantness, not as a teacher, as a wife or as a mother. But mostly Olive touches others lives in ways she'd never imagine, and her image changes, as the pages go by, according to the points of view. I really loved this book ! What makes it special to my eyes is the way Elizabeth Strout has to approach people's lives from the outside and from the inside, big and little events. I highly recommend this book to everyone !
