The latest masterpiece from the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Number One New York Times bestselling author of Olive Kitteridge, now in paperback.
Elizabeth Strout is the Pulitzer prize-winning author of My Name is Lucy Barton, Anything is Possible, Oh William!, Amy and Isabelle, Abide With Me, The Burgess Boys, Olive Kitteridge, and Olive, Again. She has been nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award, the International Dublin Literary Award, the Orange Prize and the Booker Prize. She lives in Maine.
A novel to treasure... Olive, Again, like Strout's first book,
delivers roughly five hours of spine-tingling pleasure.
*Sunday Times*
Olive, Again is a tour de force. With extraordinary economy of
prose - few writers can pack so much emotion, so much emotion, so
much detail into a single paragraph - Strout immerses us in the
lives of her characters, each so authentically drawn as to be
deserving of an entire novel themselves. Compassionate, masterly
and profound, this is a writer at the height of her powers
*Observer*
Emotionally honest, psychologically piercing and ultimately
life-affirming
*The i*
Her writing is exquisite; her vision is boundless. What a sublime
book.
A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her
own. In Olive, Again, she teaches us that there is always more to
know about human beings, even the ones we are closest to.
There's no simple truth about human existence, Strout reminds us,
only wonderful, painful complexity. 'Well, that's life,' Olive
says. 'Nothing you can do about it.' Beautifully written and alive
with compassion, at times almost unbearably poignant. A thrilling
book in every way.
*Kirkus Reviews (starred review)*
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*
