Strout olive again review. Review by deborah donovan october 2019 elizabeth strout author of the pulitzer prize winning olive kitteridge 2008 says she thought she was done with olive until her beloved character just appeared to her again. The town of crosby maine in which elizabeth strout set her acclaimed story sequence cum novel olive kitteridge and now sets this sequel olive again lies on a beautiful stretch of coast. Olive again a simple title that the matter of fact olive would approve of picks up not long after we left her in strout s first book of interrelated stories. Like its predecessor olive again is made up.
This novel which follows that. Strout s talent lies in imbuing everyday moments with deep significance and she shines in this collection. Indeed in oprah s latest book club pick olive again the sequel to strout s pulitzer prize winning olive kitteridge olive is now a much older woman though still with a fiercely intransigent nature that is both cantankerous and kindly. Elizabeth strout s new novel olive again reprises beloved olive kitteridge the aging cranky bossy wry flummoxed sad brave lonely anti heroine of strout s pulitzer prize winning 2008.
She returns to olive s world with olive again a deeply affecting book that cements strout s reputation as one of the best writers of her generation. And how grateful strout s readers will be that she did. Absolutely fantastic even better than the original olive. I recommend reading these in order.
