Prilute, sharp, resistant to changes, ruthlessly honest and sensitive, Olivia Kitteridge - the embodiment of vitality. A new collection of stories about Olivia of the Pulitzer laureate Elizabeth Straut (the prize was received just "Olivia Kitterida") is a real encyclopedia of feelings, joys and troubles of modern man.
Olivia is trying not only to himself, his actions, his feelings, but also everything that is happening around her, the life of people, that they come across to her in the way. Whether it is a teenage girl who experiences the loss of her father and aware of her sexuality, or a young woman who was about to give birth at the height of the holiday, or a middle-aged man who did not talk with his wife for thirty years and suddenly recognized the incredible about his daughter, or his own son, who is who He does not understand her.
Olivia, with her incredible sense of humor, mixes, scares, touches, inspires. In modern world literature, there are not many heroes so bright and so significant.
Author:

Starrow reminds us that there are no simple truths about human existence, only amazing, painful complexity. A book, complete compassion, sometimes unbearable. / Kirkus Reviews
Love, loss, regret, complexity of marriage, running of time and amazing beauty of nature - unchanging topics of Elizabeth Stranus. Unforgettably. / Booklist
Olivia is an axis around which these difficult, very human stories turn into the finest novel in stories. / O: The Oprah Magazine
Olivia stories are formed in a monolithic novel, with the entry, development and climax. With humor, sympathy and embarrassing details, the Strauts show aging, loss, loneliness and love. And again, she demonstrates her gift to focus on ordinary moments in the lives of ordinary people to emphasize their greatness. / Publishers Weekly
