“Olive Kitteridge” by Elizabeth Strout
3.75 out of 4 stars. We should all wish to meet someone like Olive, at least for the sarcasm! Crosby, Maine is just a little dot on the map. If one…

3.5 out of 4 stars. A group of friends deal with death. Anna has always been a star able to create a gravitational pull with whomever she meets. She is…
