APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Olive Kitteridge is a book that sneaks up on you. One minute you’re reading a lyrical, contemplative novel about the inhabitants of a fictional town in coastal Maine, and the next minute—wham!—you’re listening in on a character airing intimate and explosive secrets. Elizabeth Strout’s 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner—the basis for HBO’s award-winning miniseries starring Frances McDormand—is flat-out magnificent. Engaging from the outset, the novel makes you care deeply about its perfectly flawed characters and their beautiful, emotionally treacherous world.
