This novel is a collection of thirteen interconnected stories that continue the life of the beloved and iconic Olive Kitteridge in the fictional town of Crosby, Maine. The book follows Olive through her seventies and eighties after the death of her first husband, Henry. Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive navigates loss, a new marriage to Jack Kennison, and the challenges of getting older. She struggles to understand not only herself but the lives of those around her, including a teenager mourning the loss of her father, a young woman giving birth unexpectedly, and a nurse confessing a high school crush. Through her encounters and personal journey, Olive continues to startle, move, and inspire, prompting readers to bear the burden of the mystery of life with grace.
