A review by jennyluwho
Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout

3.0

Olive Kitteridge is the original Coca-Cola, and reading Olive, Again is like cracking a Diet Coke. I still found both equally refreshing, fulfilling and so very honest about the messiness of each and every life that is inevitably barreling toward death.

Also, I’ve read few fiction authors who’ve attempted to give voice to the over-60 crowd and I’m grateful Elizabeth Strout has chosen to showcase that age group. I come away from my reading with a broader understanding of my parents’ generation.
