Оливия Киттеридж

Olive Kitteridge stands at the center of this book. It weaves her life together with the lives of people in a very small town. Some stories she lives through herself. In others, she looks on as others live them.

Olive is sharp and hard to predict. She is strong, yet she can also be fragile. She is lonely, and she is loved. She is the kind of woman who might live next door to anyone.

Olive can see what hides beneath plain, everyday life. She sees the deep forces that shape people, their feelings and their fates. She is sure she knows how life should be lived. Or she only believes she does.

This is a Russian edition of a work of fiction by E. Strout.
