Życie jest tylko jedno, a popełnionych błędów nie sposób naprawić. Pozostaje cieszyć się tym co zostało, a przeszłość nie była przecież aż taka zła.

Happy that we could once again join the residents of Crosby, Maine as they lived their lives occasionally touched by the larger than life presence of Olive Kitteridge

I find Olive to be such a deeply complex character - so human. I loved journeying through both Olive Kitteridge and Olive, Again.

I'm so glad that Olive is back! I first met her 10 years ago and was surprised to discover how she had stayed with me. She's the same old Olive, resistant to change, self involved, yet sympathetic and giving. Such a great character.
