About This Book
A collection of thirteen linked stories set in the small coastal town of Crosby, Maine. At the center is Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher whose sharp edges and difficult personality paradoxically make her one of fiction's most compassionate characters, as she observes and participates in the lives of her neighbors.
