Description: 0-8129-7183-3 The Barnes & Noble Review Olive Kitteridge is the kind of woman you would duck across the street to avoid meeting. She's abrasive as sandpaper rubbed across a scab and unapologetically rude. Now retired, she taught seventh-grade math in the small Maine town of Crosby for years, earning a reputation as the mean teacher who leaves her students flustered and trembling. She is loud, unnerving, tart-tongued, and completely unforgettable. At some point, we've all had an Olive Kitteridge ... read more
"A series of short vignettes, which - when strung together - tell the story of the title character. Each story in itself is a glimpse into the life in small town USA and Olive's appearance, as either a small or a central character in each one, slowly reveals a more complete look at this interesting woman, her family and how she evolves over time.
I found it to be a fast and entertaining read with an undercurrent of something more."
"Olive is one of the most crazy, lovable and intense characters I have encountered. Each chapter is a different story about someone who lives in Olive's town, and she might play a big or small part in the story. They are all related. Our book club had a very lively discussion regarding Olive Kitteridge, if we love her or hate her or love to hate her."
