Elizabeth Strout's Olive, Again
This is the perfect fall book, with its crisp prose and evocative atmospheres. It's another of Strout's novels-in-stories about the titular Olive Kitteridge, but I had only vague memories of its predecessor and didn't feel lost at all. I really love the way Strout creates a whole town and its inhabitants, and how we catch little glimpses of them from one POV to another. This one focuses mostly on Olive growing older, though of course has lots to say about family and friendship and love and forgiveness. Another stellar work from Strout. A.
