«Olive Kitteridge» is the novel by Elizabeth Strout, published by Scribner in paperback (270 pages, in English).
Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, lives in the coastal town of Crosby, Maine, and views the changes in the world with distrust, though she does not always recognise the changes in those around her. With interweaving stories, the novel portrays life in the community and addresses loneliness, grief, jealousy and human relationships.
The work received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2009 and was adapted into an Emmy-winning HBO miniseries.
A read for those who enjoy contemporary literary fiction centred on characters and small-town life.
