Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has
captured the imaginations of millions.
“Strout managed to make me love
this strange woman I’d never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific
writer she is.” (Zadie Smith, The Guardian)
“Just as wonderful as the
original...Olive, Again poignantly reminds us that empathy, a requirement for
love, helps make life ‘not unhappy.’” (NPR)

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 this book, 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 us
- in Strout’s words - “to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as
we can.”
Praise for Olive, Again:
“Olive is a brilliant creation
not only because of her eternal cantankerousness but because she’s as brutally
candid with herself about her shortcomings as she is with others. Her honesty
makes people strangely willing to confide in her, and the raw power of Ms.
Strout’s writing comes from these unvarnished exchanges, in which characters
reveal themselves in all of their sadness and badness and confusion.... The
great, terrible mess of living is spilled out across the pages of this moving
book. Ms. Strout may not have any answers for it, but she isn’t afraid of it
either.” (The Wall Street Journal)
