Review: Olive Kitteridge

Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1)Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoy listening to Strout's novels. The voice of the author is calming, and so far always matched with a good narrator. Olive is a blustery force of nature, one that I recognize in parts from some of the women I've known over the years -- someone who comes off as they know all the answers, but then you realize they are often making it up as they go, albeit with good intentions. You see that here, but also the unsure side of Olive as she deals with aging and changes.
