Monday, April 18 through Wednesday, May 11, 2022. Read by Susan Sweeney.
Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge. Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, or a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us—in Strout’s words—“to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can.”
