At the border of the continent, Crosby, Maine, may seem like nowhere, but seen through this excellent writer's sight, it's in essence depends upon, and the lives that are lived there are filled up with all the grand human drama - desire, despair, jealousy, expectation, and love. At times stern, at other times patient, sometimes perceptive, at other times in unfortunate denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the globe at large, but she doesn't always acknowledge the changes in those around her: a previous student who have lost the will to have; Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who discovers his commitment to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. As the townspeople grapple with the problems, gentle and dire, Olive is taken to a deeper knowledge of herself and her life - sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless credibility. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition - its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the strength it requires. 2009 Pulitzer Prize victor in the Words, Dilemma and Music category
