Discussion of Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout- add your comments below!
I loved this book and admire the author’s ability to weave together 13 disparate stories into a coherent whole. I could identify with Olive, with her conflicting emotions, her up-front nature, her loneliness. She came across to me as a compelling character, real enough for me to be waiting eagerly for her appearance in each of the stories. I felt Strout did characters so very well. I realise now that I have read Elizabeth Strout before and will certainly do so again. Will shut up now to give others a chance to have their say ...and maybe disagree with me!
