Olive Kitteridge

I LOVE Olive Kitteridge! This is one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Maybe that's why Strout won the Pulitzer. The stories are well drawn and realistic; the characters suffer quietly or publicly but all in a true to life manner. Ms. Strout reveals so much about human nature and how people get through life as best they can. Olive herself is bizarre but fascinating.

I am only maybe three quarters of the way through, but this book was worth every penny of the 8.99 I paid for it at Costco. Run out to the bookstore and buy it right away!
