Olive
Kitteridge is a novel that spans decades, weaving the stories of thirteen
different citizens of a small coastal town in Maine. At the center of these
stories is Olive herself, a sometimes deeply sympathetic, compassionate
school teacher who at other times is harsh, thickheaded, and downright
impossible to like. This novel explores the relationships of the townsfolk
with each other, with Olive, and with the world around them, offering
profound insights into the human condition.
