At times stern, at additional times patient, sometimes perceptive, at additional times in unhappy denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the adjustments in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world most importantly, but she doesn’t always recognize the adjustments in those around her: a lounge musician haunted with a past romance; a former student who has dropped the will to live; Olive’s very own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her spouse, Henry, who sees his devotion to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is taken to a deeper knowledge of herself and her life-sometimes painfully, but generally with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights in to the human being condition-its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.
