Strout, in her return to the world of her Pulitzer Prize-winning 2008 novel, Olive Kitteridge, finds herself with an older cast, and a more fragile one. There’s quite a bit of a falling in Olive, Again. And this interview and the heart of the author is what made me want to venture into this world.This sequel to the Pulitzer-winning Olive Kitteridge is a hymn to second chances, discovers Sophie Ratcliffe Oprah picked Olive, again for her book club and did an interview with Elizabeth Strout on the Apple series. Though I don’t think I can put my finger on it. There was something about the stories in the second book that really resonated with me. Of all of them, Olive, again was my favorite. I would highly recommend both books and the series. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful series and Olive really comes to life in it. As a character, I think she nails Olive, but at the same time Olive is described as a larger lady which I don’t see McDormand as. In the series, Olive Kitteridge is played by Frances McDormand. She is the type of woman that will always have an opinion. I like her frankness and willingness to talk about anything. Without spoiling anything, Olive goes through some major life changes between the first and second book, and that might be the reason for the change. She begins to see things differently and she is less moody. In Olive, again – the second book, she seems to have a lighter feel to her, as if she has let go. But what I love about her is that she doesn’t really discriminate, whenever she judges she is clearly a product of her generation and she doesn’t speak on it, but rather contains it within herself.ĭuring Olive Kitteridge – the first book, she is still holding on to this stubbornness and anger inside her. She’s observant and curious, but can also be vindictive and judgemental. But this is exactly what makes Olive so fantastic. She’s straightforward to the point of abrasive and this rubs people the wrong way. Olive is almost a sort of anti-hero, they way she refuses to follow common etiquette. They live in Maine and through short stories, glimpses into the lives of people near them we get to know them and their community. Olive Kitteridge is an old school teacher, married to Henry Kitteridge a pharmacist and together they have a son that is a podiatrist. I decided I wanted to experience them in order and I’m very glad I did, it was a very rewarding experience. Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer for fiction with Olive Kitteridge, it was then made into a limited series and then Olive, again came out last year.
