Olive Kitteridge

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Elizabeth Strout: Olive Kitteridge. Paperback, fin stand. Engelsk tekst.

Olive Kitteridge: indomitable, compassionate and often unpredictable. A retired schoolteacher in a small coastal town in Maine, struggling to make sense of the changes in her life as she grows older. She is a woman who sees into the hearts of others, discerning their triumphs and tragedies. 

We meet her stoic husband, bound to her in a marriage both broken and strong, and a young man who aches for the mother he lost - and whom Olive comforts by her mere presence, while her own son feels tyrannized by her overbearing sensitivities. 

A penetrating, vibrant exploration of the human soul in need, Olive Kitteridge will make you laugh, nod in recognition, wince in pain and shed a tear or two...
