Elizabeth Strout writes as I can only dream of. Her writing is straightforward and direct. Reading her words, I never feel like she's deserted any effort. This is a smooth trick to master and she's done it. I first became acquainted with Olive Kittredge seeing Frances McDormand play her is the HBO mini-series. Surprisingly, I so enjoyed this portrayal, this story, that I sought out the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. Seeing this continuation of Olive's story brought me joy' reading it brought even more joy. I wish this story, this character, this book, would go on endlessly. Like life itself, I imagine there are so many more stories to tell.
