5.0

Another classic from Elizabeth Strout featuring Olive Kitteridge and her eclectic mix of friends and their families. Bob Burgess has landed himself a case defending a man accused of murdering his mother. This brings to the fore his feelings about accidentally killing his own father as a child. Bob and Lucy Barton take walks and tell each other their stories. Lucy also spends afternoons with Olive and they too tell stories. This essentially is what this book is about, the stories of our lives…..”unrecorded lives” as Olive describes them. 
These characters are a delight even with or maybe because of all their flaws. A must read. 

Thanks to NetGalley.co.uk and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
