Olive Kitteridge, una maestra jubilada, observa a los habitantes de Crosby, el pequeño pueblo de Maine donde ha vivido durante treinta años. Olive deplora los cambios en su pequeña localidad y en el mundo en general, pero no siempre sabe ver los trances dolorosos o las alegrías más íntimas que cruzan las vidas de sus vecinos: una pianista de bar atormentada por un amor imposible; una exalumna que ha perdido las ganas de vivir; el propio hijo adulto de Olive, que se siente tiranizado por las sensibilidades irracionales de su madre; y su marido, Henry, que experimenta su lealtad al matrimonio como una bendición y una carga a la vez. Mientras los habitantes del pueblo lidian con sus problemas, Olive transita por la soledad y la pérdida, alcanzando una comprensión profunda de lo que significa esta vida.

Construida con una fina ironía, honesta y punzante, Olive Kitteridge, galardonada con el Premio Pulitzer y el Llibreter, concentra el mundo entero en un lugar recóndito que brilla con luz propia en manos de una de las grandes escritoras contemporáneas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE AND LLIBRETER PRIZE.

The iconic novel by Elizabeth Strout, an author with three and a half million readers.

THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING HBO MINISERIES STARRING FRANCES MCDORMAND, RICHARD JENKINS, AND BILL MURRAY.

In a voice more powerful and compassionate than ever before, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout binds together thirteen rich, luminous narratives into a book with the heft of a novel, through the presence of one larger-than-life, unforgettable character: Olive Kitteridge.

At the edge of the continent, Crosby, Maine, may seem like nowhere, but seen through this brilliant writer's eyes, it's in essence the whole world, and the lives that are lived there are filled with all of the grand human drama-desire, despair, jealousy, hope, and love.

At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance: a former student who has lost the will to live: Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life-sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition-its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.
