About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An extraordinary new novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Number One New York Times bestselling author of Olive Kitteridge and My Name is Lucy Barton

Olive, Again follows the blunt, contradictory yet deeply loveable Olive Kitteridge as she grows older, navigating the second half of her life as she comes to terms with the changes - sometimes welcome, sometimes not - in her own existence and in those around her.

Olive adjusts to her new life with her second husband, challenges her estranged son and his family to accept him, experiences loss and loneliness, witnesses the triumphs and heartbreaks of her friends and neighbours in the small coastal town of Crosby, Maine - and, finally, opens herself to new lessons about life.

'One of America's finest writers' Sunday Times

'A powerful storyteller immersed in the nuances of human relationships' Observer

'Strout really can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her, in that house, that life, that little Podunk of a place' The Times

Who am I

Elizabeth Strout has inexplicably put together a story so complex, yet so simple. The life we lead, and how latter we ponder over the little things. There is so much to learn from Olive, her love for foe love, her curiosity (which can be a little nosy), her attitude towards life on the whole. What piqued my interest, was her ability to bounce back from loss, her reasoning about different situations, and her openess to accept. The book is just not about Olive but about all the old people in the neighborhood and their moments of introspection on the life they led. We all have the same ending, yet our lives are so vivid and different. the questions we forget in our busy lives are the ones we think we should have early on. I am take back so much from this labour of love, a feeling, the love, the joy and the hope that we seldom notice. This book of love will put you in touch with a part of you that is burried, and will surface an appreciation for people you may think you never had.
