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.

生离死别，最难写的主题。
评分这种类似POV又互相被一个人物主线串联的手法，很有意思。其实也想人生，各人有各人的故事，彼此又会有纠葛，而且是同一个人同个城市的评价也会截然不同。读到Jack和Oliver坐北欧邮轮看到美景时，Jack大哭深有感触。生活那么美，明白的那么晚，生命又那么短。
评分生离死别，最难写的主题。
评分Olive住在缅因临海小镇，从家里的窗户可以望到大海，再嫁之后，家门外是整片森林。看过新英格兰的临海小镇和秋季缅因的大片大片的枫树的美之后，我无法将我的想象和书中的故事叠加在一起。我以为住在新英格兰海边的人，应该幸福感爆棚，因为那些紧邻大海的房子都实在太美了，是我的想象力远远无法企及的美。但事实是，住在这里的人，跟其它任何地方的人一样，一生中不乏忧伤的故事。这本小说的主题是迟暮，当人面临死亡时，回顾自己的一生，发现自己并不知道自己是谁，如同雾里看花。迟暮之年还会伴随着寂寞感。成年孩子生活在别处，伴侣去世后，一个人，一个年迈体弱直面死亡的人，该如何面对孤单？我以为我已经体验过了各种况味的孤独，不，并没有，我跟随时间过着我的生活啊，总会有新鲜的孤独在路边冒出，如同蘑菇等我采摘。
评分我想我也到老都不会明白who I have been
