Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout
4.0
How do I love thee Elizabeth Strout? Let me count the ways.
This is Strout at her brilliant best. She writes people and their ordinary lives in such a perfectly human way. Moving, melancholy and sad. A focus on death, ageing, the passage of time and the pain of being human. I didn't love Olive Kitteridge but I really enjoyed this sequel as I just adore the way Kimberley Farr narrates Strout's novels. Olive totally won me over by the end!
Elizabeth Strout has got to be one of my favourite authors. I've just finally got my hands on her first book The Burgess Boys which I can't wait to read. Then i will have read all of her books that is until her new novel is out later this year. I believe that it will brings together many of the characters from her earlier novels. I'm so keen! These books are my jam.
Highly recommend listening to Strout on audio especially if Kimberly Farr is the narrator. I've alternated between both physical reading and audio across her books and I love both options.
