Books: Olive Kitteridge
July 12, 2010 | Books
I just read Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, recommended by Iowa author, Carol Bodensteiner. It was a great read, and it’s not surprising that it won the Pulitzer. The writing is wonderful. I can’t decide yet whether I like Olive or not, but I think that’s the point. She’s a complex character seen in so many different ways, depending on who’s doing the looking. That’s just like all of us. And the other characters come to life on every page. Thanks, Carol, for the recommendation!

I quite liked that book. It was one of the few books I read with my book club that I actually liked.
