Olive Kitteridge

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout is 2009 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction.

Olive Kitteridge is the abrasive and vulnerable title character...in these 13 sharply observed dramas of small-town life...in Crosby, Maine.

A former math teacher, married to retired pharmacist, Henry, Olive observes and participates in all the aspects of life - love, loneliness, loss, and tragedy- as they make their way across
these pages.

A perfectly balanced portrait of the human condition...without every losing sight of the equally powerful presences of tenderness, shared pursuits and lifelong loyalty.

-Kirkus Reviews
