The MCPL Adult Readers Book Club Book for the month of January is, “Olive Kitteridge” by Elizabeth Strout. The book takes place in a small New England town, and is written from the different perspectives of the towns people. Each story told always at least mentions, if not centers around, the character of Olive Kitteridge. This book takes a close look at how we are perceived by others as well as looking at how we treat others. The book club will meet on January 31st at 5:30pm.
“The pleasure in reading ‘Olive Kitteridge’ comes from an intense identification with complicated, not always admirable, characters. And there are moments in which slipping into a character’s viewpoint seems to involve the revelation of an emotion more powerful and interesting than simple fellow feeling […] a complex, sometimes dark, sometimes life-sustaining dependency on others. There’s nothing mawkish or cheap here. There’s simply the honest recognition that we need to try to understand people, even if we can’t stand them.”
-- Louisa Thomas, New York Times (2008).
