Book Review of Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, Bk 1)

Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, Bk 1)

All the loss and loneliness in most of these stories creates a dark haunting perspective on life that I generally have no patience for but it's mesmerizing here. The review "animates the ordinary with astonishing force" nails it. The humor and upbeat nature of the last chapter is totally unexpected and redemptive.
