Many thanks to NetGgalley, Random House, and Elizabeth Strout for the opportunity to read this wonderful novel, a follow-up to her Pulitzer Price winning book, Olive Kitteridge. 5 glorious stars for the chance to spend time again with Olive!
Olive is now in her 70s, her first husband has died, she is estranged from her son, and she is lonely. But she's still Olive - brutally honest and very opinionated. Each chapter centers on another character with ties to Crosby, Maine, but Olive always makes an appearance to string the entire book together. We watch as Olive grows older and has to navigate a world that is increasingly harder for her.
I just loved this book and could see both myself, my children and parents in this book. It will give you insight to all generations and maybe make you think just a bit how small interactions can make big differences. Highly recommended!
