A review by ikwezi
Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout

3.0

Everyone was quite earnest in this one and the only tart Olive-like voices were in pain, so I missed that part of her writing, but the jumping between perspectives and the depiction of the overwhelming nature of grief was her in top form. I could do with less grieving in fiction generally but I understand how it usefully throws all of the character's psychological doors open for narrative purposes.
