Olive Kitteridge

Olive Kitteridge was a surprise to me. I expected a novel and ended up with a bunch of connected short stories. Some featured Olive as the main character while others had her make brief guest appearances. By the end, I found that Olive was both wonderful and terrible. She was kind and she was thoughtless. In essence, she was a real human being.

Somewhere between when I started the book and just after I finished, my laptop blew up and I waited for it to be fixed or to get a new one before writing this review. As such, my memory about the book is a little foggy. Still, I did like it
