Reviews
Olive Kitteridge is one book I honestly had no interest in reading. I typically stay away from short stories, preferring a novel I can really sink my teeth into. Our book club chose this so I thought I would give it a chance and am I glad I did! Olive is a very complex character and through the eyes of the townspeople we get to know her in a way that would have been impossible otherwise. Her story is one filled with hurt, anger, and compassion. Beautifully written with a touch of humor. The interview with author and character is not to be missed!
