OLIVE KITTERIDGE: A NOVEL IN STORIES by Elizabeth StroutRead about the other books on the list.
These are beautifully written interlinked short stories set in a small rural community in Maine, USA. Olive is a cantankerous but charismatic retired teacher and it’s lovely to meet a character who is interesting but not easy to love.
Olive Kitteridge is one of Laura Barnett's top nine unconventional love stories.
