May 19, 2011 Book Discussion

Join us on Thursday, May 19, from 7-9PM, when Camille DelVecchio leads us in our discussion of Elizabeth Strout's OLIVE KITTERIDGE.

Covering a period of 30-odd years, most of the stories (several of which were previously published in the New Yorker and other magazines) feature Olive as their focus, but in some she is a bit player or even a footnote while other characters take center stage to sort through their own fears and insecurities. People are sustained by the rhythms of ordinary life and the natural wonders of coastal Maine, and even Olive is sometimes caught off guard by life's baffling beauty. -- Booklist
