In autumn in Maine, town lawyer Bob Burgess becomes embroiled in a murder investigation, defending a lonely man accused of killing his mother. He forms a deep friendship with acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives nearby by the sea. Their conversations explore their lives, hopes, and regrets. Lucy also befriends Olive Kitteridge, a long-time resident of Crosby, now in a retirement community. They share afternoons in Olive's apartment, recounting stories about people from their pasts—what Olive calls "unrecorded lives." These exchanges breathe life into their memories, imbuing their experiences with meaning. The narrative is rich with empathy and pathos, showcasing the power of relationships to sustain us. Lucy reflects, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love." Esteemed authors praise the work, highlighting Strout's exceptional storytelling and her ability to reveal the extraordinary within ordinary lives. Oprah Winfrey includes it in her book club, calling it a beautiful reminder of the extraordinary love found in everyday actions. Elizabeth Strout, a Pulitzer Prize winner and Booker Prize nominee, demonstrates her mastery in this poignant exploration of human connection.
