Strout describes the heartaches and headaches of her characters, capturing their moments of grace and their flawed humanity with clear-eyed compassion. Many lessons to learn in this not so funny but funny novel about the human character…about people connecting, or trying to connect, or failing to connect. Olive’s often painful journey to self-awareness is really what the story is all about.
