#1 New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. 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 moments of transcendent grace.
我想我也到老都不会明白who I have been
评分the retrospective sorrow and vulnerability of old age. She did not have a clue who she had been.
评分希望继续拍成剧
评分一开始觉得很琐碎,读到中间觉得好看了,有些故事很有场景感,捕捉到很细腻的moment~还有就是这个作者会用相对较多的俚语,以及不是炫技华丽但还是要查字典的形容词,可读性还是挺高的~
评分【藏书阁】在一个感觉很丧的深夜看完Olive II,真的有一种很丧的感觉。人之将死,其言也善!这部续集依然是在Maine那个叫Crosby的海滨小镇,不像Stephen King的那座恐怖小镇,也不像托宾的那个悲伤小城,这是一个充满温馨的美国梦圆的小镇,房子精致漂亮,居民安逸祥和,但是这片宁静下面涌动的却是老人们无尽的孤独!丧失旧爱的Olive,在这部续作里虽然重又找到真爱,然而好景不长,八年过后她又是孤单影只......而小说的结尾,I don’t know who am I,对她来说,已然是一个幸福的结局。
