Just want to highly recommend this wonderful novel. It won the Pulitzer Prize and was recently made into a mini series but I urge anyone who likes Anne Tyler, Barbara Kingsolver, Alice Hoffman, Margaret Atwood and the like to read this book. When I think I've recently wasted my time on The Miniaturist and other books that are heavily promoted by Waterstones, I just groan. It's made up of chapters each of which tells a different story involving, to a lesser or greater degree, Olive Kitteridge, a former schoolteacher. So beautifully written in a very evocative style. I loved it.
