Elizabeth Strout: Reading Yourself

[nathanisaksson]

I love Olive Kitteridge, the character and the book itself.

I recently completed reading three books by this author and "Isabelle and Amy" was the most powerful and meaningful to me, although I enjoyed "Olive Kitteridge" immensely as well. She creates a community of characters that you want to move in with and has such original ways of describing the commonplace that it almost takes your breath away. Guess I'm a fan!
