OLIVE KITTERIDGE

ABIDE WITH ME

Tyler Caskey has grown to love his home and congregation in Maine. After suffering a terrible loss he finds it hard to be the person he once was, and his leadership is questioned. A startling discovery will test the humanity of Tyler and his congregation.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

An unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss, and we explore a whole range of human emotions through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others.

LUCY BY THE SEA

Lucy is uprooted from her life in New York City and reluctantly goes into lockdown with her ex-husband, William, in a house on the coast of Maine. Strout's new novel is a miraculous work of fiction. A brilliantly sharp evocation of the period we have just lived through, it is a novel that both resonates deeply and consoles us, too.

MY NAME IS LUCY BARTON

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life.

OH WILLIAM!

Lucy Barton is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband—and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its subtlety, of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership.

OLIVE, AGAIN

Olive Kitteridge as she grows older, comes to terms with the changes - sometimes welcome, sometimes not - in her own existence and in those around her. Olive adjusts to her new life with her second husband, challenges her estranged son and his family to accept him, witnesses the triumphs and heartbreaks of her friends and neighbours in the small coastal town of Crosby, Maine - and, finally, opens herself to new lessons about life.
