À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions.

“Strout managed to make me love this strange woman I’d never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific writer she is.”—Zadie Smith, The Guardian

“Just as wonderful as the original . . . Olive, Again poignantly reminds us that empathy, a requirement for love, helps make life ‘not unhappy.’”—NPR

ONE OF PEOPLE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”

I loved the narrator just not the story. I couldn’t stay connected. Perhaps if I start over however I can see how sone might enjoy.

Not for me

As with the first book, I loved it! I think the author did an amazing job of creating the main character, Olive in all her perfect imperfectness. The book came alive to me through Olive and all the other characters throughout the book that made "regular" life so interesting. The Narrator was top notch and I laughed and grew close to tears on numerous occasions. What a treat!

Loved it!

I really liked the flow of the story and all the individuals that were all part of Olive’s world either directly or indirectly. I had to remind myself several times of the original story of certain characters as they appeared later again in the story. Love the ending ❤️

Entertaining and thought provoking

One of my faves in the last couple of years. Even better than the first. An unforgettable character. Very flawed but I can’t help liking her. The short stories all pack a punch of emotions by themselves. It deserves all the accolades it’s been getting.

Beautiful & haunting
