Olive Kitteridge is Elizabeth Strout's two-book sequence about a retired schoolteacher living in a coastal Maine town. The first novel, Olive Kitteridge (2008), sets Olive among the people around her: a stoic husband in a marriage both broken and durable, a young man grieving his mother, and a son who finds her hard to bear. Olive, Again (2019) follows. Retired teachers, town life and Maine are the subject tags, and no third book is dated.
