Olive Kitteridge

Olive Kitteridge
by Elizabeth Strout

Olive Kitteridge is a novel made up of short stories that tell of the lives of people in a small town in Maine. All of the stories are linked through the main character, Olive. Each new tale builds off the previous one so readers have many related short stories that enable them to see the true Olive. When we first meet her, she appears to be nothing more than a crabby old woman, but as the book unfolds, we learn more about this complex and interesting person, and come to identify with her. A wonderful read –
