My Pick for Best Fiction Read 2010: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Okay, the book has been out for a couple of years, but I just read it this year, so I'm counting it in this year. I love Olive! This book goes to my One-of-the-Best-Books-I've-Ever-Read list. Elizabeth Strout has done an excellent job of showing the complexity, frailty, and joy of being human. Olive is rude and unlikeable and vulnerable and good... by the end of the book, I wanted to go find this woman and hug her!
