"New York Times" bestselling author Strout binds together 13 rich, luminous narratives through the presence of one larger-than-life, unforgettable character: Olive Kitteridge, who offers profound insights into the human condition.
Isabelle Goodrow works in a dead-end job in a self-imposed exile with her daughter Amy, trying to cope with the shame she feels about her affair with Amy's father. When Amy, frustrated by her seemingly unemotional mother, begins her own affair, the relationship between the two deteriorates.
Set the late 1950s, in the small town of West Annett, Maine, this long-awaited new novel by the author of "Amy and Isabelle" tells the story of a minister struggling to regain his calling, his family, and his happiness in the wake of profound loss.
A mother and daughter engage in a battle of wills in the searing heat of an intense summer. Isabella's discovery of Amy's sexual liaison with her maths teacher threatens to demolish the brittle construct of their lives in Shirley Falls, and to reveal all their hidden shame and grief.
