Pulitzer Prize–winning author Olive Kitteridge provides insightful perspectives on the human condition, including its struggles, pleasures, and tragedies, as well as the perseverance needed to get through them.
Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, is indifferent to the changes in her small town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large. However, she is not always aware of the changes in the people around her, including a lounge musician haunted by a past romance, a former student who has lost all hope of life, Olive's own adult child who feels oppressed by her unreasonable sensitivities, and her husband Henry, who finds his commitment to his marriage to be both a blessing and a curse.
Olive gains a greater awareness of herself and her life—sometimes painfully, but always with brutal honesty—as the villagers struggle with their little and major issues.
