At first, I was confused and slightly irritated. We read some from Olive’s perspective and we read others that only mention Olive in quick passing. The book continues in the form of vignettes. We know that she does not show loving emotions and we begin to suspect that Olive has some darkness inside. We learn that Olive is curt and prone to being direct in her speaking. We learn quite a bit about Olive from Henry who is the polar opposite of his wife. The first one focuses on Olive’s husband, Henry. The book consists of a series of vignettes. For some inexplainable reason, I thought this was going to be a book like Anne of Green Gables or some other cohesive story. I had heard good things about the book, and so I downloaded it. I randomly choose to listen to the Book Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout when my podcast inventory was depleted, and I was looking for something to listen during my workout.
