description: Prickly wry resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic Olive Kitteridge is a compelling life force (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout animates the ordinary with an astonishing force and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us to move us and to inspire usin Strouts wordsto bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.
