NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions.

“Strout managed to make me love this strange woman I’d never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific writer she is.”—Zadie Smith, The Guardian

“Just as wonderful as the original . . . Olive, Again poignantly reminds us that empathy, a requirement for love, helps make life ‘not unhappy.’”—NPR

ONE OF PEOPLE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”

Fascinating character studies and larger than life personalities - a really enjoyable read. Sometimes it was very amusing but also there were moments of true despair. Honest feelings of grief, loss and loneliness are also well depicted - the narrator brings the characters to life but isn't over sentimental. There are plenty of amusing scenarios too - a very good balance. I haven't listened to such a super story in a long time. loved it.

Great character descriptions.

Die Autorin nähert sich der herben, aber sympatisch ehrlichen und manchmal klugen, manchmal für die Wahrheit blinden Olive auf freundliche Wrise zu verschiedenen Zeiten und aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. Wer sind wir, was kann aus uns werden, wie verändert sich unser Blick auf das Leben und uns mit den Gegebenheiten. Die Grschichten sind brilliant und einfühlsam gelesen, häufig mit einem hörbaren Schmunzeln.
Ein Must Read/Hear.

Weise, ehrlich, unterhaltsam und brilliant gelesen!
