#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.
Elizabeth Strout is the author of several novels, including: Abide with Me, a national bestseller and BookSense pick, and Amy and Isabelle, which won the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize, and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize in England. In 2009 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her book Olive Kitteridge. Her short stories have been published in a number of magazines, including The New Yorker. She teaches at the Master of Fine Arts program at Queens University of Charlotte.

充滿瞭中老年人的黑色幽默,一開始看得笑齣聲,但越來越笑不齣來,漸漸老去,越來越多的悲哀和孤獨。i'm getting closer and I get it, feeling sad.
评分一本極美的小說,有關年長以後每個人必須麵對的孤獨、疾病、死亡、分離。Olive不是一個多討人喜歡的老人,但她在這本書中的經曆足以讓讀者感受到生命的美好與脆弱的共存。
评分這種類似POV又互相被一個人物主綫串聯的手法,很有意思。其實也想人生,各人有各人的故事,彼此又會有糾葛,而且是同一個人同個城市的評價也會截然不同。讀到Jack和Oliver坐北歐郵輪看到美景時,Jack大哭深有感觸。生活那麼美,明白的那麼晚,生命又那麼短。
