February Book Club
Wednesday, February 9 | 10:30 a.m.
"Olive, Again" picks up right where the first book left off, just a few weeks after the last story in Olive Kitteridge.
Olive is a former math teacher living in the coastal town of Crosby, Maine. When the book begins, she is now in her seventies.
In this novel, Olive continues to evolve as a person, though she retains her personality all the same. Like the previous novel, Strout presents an array of stories relating to Olive (sometimes as a main character, other times only mentioned in passing) that shed light on the intricacies of various human emotions and interpersonal dynamics.
Questions or suggestions? Please contact administrative@lickingcountycc.org.
