具体描述
#1 New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. 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 moments of transcendent grace.

一本极美的小说，有关年长以后每个人必须面对的孤独、疾病、死亡、分离。Olive不是一个多讨人喜欢的老人，但她在这本书中的经历足以让读者感受到生命的美好与脆弱的共存。
评分一本极美的小说，有关年长以后每个人必须面对的孤独、疾病、死亡、分离。Olive不是一个多讨人喜欢的老人，但她在这本书中的经历足以让读者感受到生命的美好与脆弱的共存。
评分作为续集，还是很好看。年近老年，虽然性格未变，但是因为身体的原因，不得不慢下来。最可怕的是她突然意识到自己的儿子娶了一个跟自己一样的女人，这样的反思，在她身上，实属不多见。一口气听完，还是很吸引人。
评分4.5. 我在想，是什么让我这么喜欢Strout的作品（现唯独剩一本没读）？她的文学语言简洁到第一眼看上去会以为是YA的遣词造句。其实不然。那不是直白，而是除开缅因州特有的简洁语言风格之外，更是作者对生活强烈的热爱。并非懵懂冲撞的年轻人的热情之爱，而是阅尽千帆看遍人性后的豁达乐观之爱。哪怕她的故事包裹着悔恨、痛失，和孤独，但总闪耀着人性中优雅，和即使到耄耋之年也拥有的希望。这就是我喜欢她的原因：无比贴近生活的人物，真实准确的对话，毫无呻吟地表达人生的错失的同时，又给了我遥望远方闪烁的光点。p.s. Olive这个人物太难忘了
