    Insight into being Human

    I wanted to read this book as the author won the pulitzer prize for it and recently came out with a sequel about Olive Kittridge. It is well worth the read. The author displays keen insight into small emotional details about the human condition and how we interact with each other. I highly recommend it.

    Brings back memories.

    The writing is excellent. Elizabeth Strout captured the nature of we Mainers in a compelling manner. Olive is the type of complex character that keeps me reading.

    Older but Not Necessarily Better

    If you like realistic fiction, this book features interlocking short stories that touch on the life of one older Maine inhabitant--the well-known but not-universally -liked Olive Kitteridge. Strout will make you think about the vicissitudes of life in a smallish town in a startling way. Her heroes are the ones who have done their inner work, up and down the social scale---and that may hold surprises.
