Our BookshelvesWe don’t review books, we share gems that we have found. Originally, we reviewed books based on their discussion potential, but now it’s more about the inspiration they spark, and the connections they can make. Have a book that you’d like to share and pass along? Tell us why you picked up the book, why you kept reading and who you’d pass it to next.
Olive Kitteridge
Why I picked it up? Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Olive Kitteridge in 2009. I had spent some time in Maine by then, and I was captivated by the geography, the influence of the long coast and the northern remoteness of the state. Hearing about a story that went deep into the lives of people there felt serendipitous.
