Olive Kitteridge

beachnj from Cape May Point, NJ, Aug 31, 2009

I was hesitant to tackle this because of previous reviews I had read, but I am so glad that I did spend the time. I enjoyed the people of the town and how Olive interacted with them over the years. I saw too much of myself in her comments on love and loneliness and how parents and children do or do not get along. This book made me think a lot about relationships and what is important in life. I expect to read it again and will certainly recommend it to others. The short story structure is a bit difficult at first, but you get used to it.

Great Read!

jackelby from Little Rock, Arkansas, Jul 23, 2009

I am not usually inclined to read short stories; however, Olive Kitteridge was very entertaining and flowed very well. I loved how they intertwined stories of Olive throughout the book.
