Praise for Olive, Again:
“Beautifully written and alive with compassion….A thrilling book in every way.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“As direct, funny, sad, and human as its heroine, Strout’s welcome follow-up to Olive Kitteridge portrays the cantankerous retired math teacher in old age. Strout again demonstrates her gift for zeroing in on ordinary moments in the lives of ordinary people to highlight their extraordinary resilience.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
