Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Olive Kitteridge is a 2008 novel by Elizabeth Strout.It has been described as a "novel in stories". The book consists of thirteen stories set in the fictional coastal town of Crosby, Maine. The central character is Olive Kitteridge, a retired math teacher in her early seventies. Olive is cranky, irascible, blunt, and can sometimes be downright obnoxious. She browbeats her mild-mannered husband Henry, and her volcanic moods alienate her only son, Christopher. But she can also be a fierce friend and can be strongly empathetic.Many of the thirteen stories focus on Olive, such as "A Little Burst" where Olive takes a strong dislike to Christopher's new wife, or "A Different Road" in which Olive and Henry are taken hostage when two drug addicts rob a hospital they are visiting. Others mention her only tangentially, like "Criminal" in which a frustrated housewife remembers Olive as being the scariest teacher in school, or "The Piano Player" in which the eponymous piano player, a Lady Drunk, sees Henry Kitteridge come into the nightclub where she performs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Adapted into an HBO miniseries, Olive Kitteridge, with Frances McDormand as Olive. Strout later wrote a sequel, 2019 novel Olive, Again. | |
