Olive Kitteridge might be described by some as a battle axe or as brilliantly pushy, by others as the kindest person they had ever met. Olive herself has always been certain that she is 100% correct about everything - although, lately, her certitude has been shaken. This indomitable character appears at the centre of these narratives that comprise Olive Kitteridge. In each of them, we watch Olive, a retired schoolteacher, as she struggles to make sense of the changes in her life and the lives of those around her - always with brutal honesty, if sometimes painfully. Olive will make you laugh, nod in recognition, as well as wince in pain or shed a tear or two. We meet her stoic husband, bound to her in a marriage both broken and strong, and her own son, tyrannised by Olive's overbearing sensitivities. The reader comes away, amazed by this author's ability to conjure this formidable heroine and her deep humanity that infiltrates every page.

並沒有在怕一個人老去,看完反而堅定要學一些老瞭也不會讓自己沉湎庸碌世態的技能.Such an ordinary life that you should not squander. 要吐槽下這種結構的小說看著真的是纍????
評分我感覺近年來讀的pulitzer prize獲奬作品,總是prose大於plot。作者用一種比較意識流的方式,刻畫瞭一個deeply flawed yet deserving of empathy的女性形象。故事不好看,但是execution極其成功,字裏行間那種美國白人小鎮的窒息感,簡直猶如作者反復描寫的、無處不在的陽光和海岸。#9
