Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout

Olive, Again takes us back to Crosby, Maine. Olive, in her 80s and looking back on her life over the years, is still a formidable woman who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. These linked stories introduce us to the people of Crosby who deal with loneliness, loss, infidelity, sickness, and regrets. However, there is also friendship, love, and compassion in these stories. Elizabeth Strout shows us once again that she is a gifted writer who can deliver an excellent story.
