It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. Together, they spend afternoons in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known - \"unrecorded lives,\" Olive calls them - reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Strout\u003c\/b\u003e is the #1 \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \n\u003ci\u003eLucy by the Sea; Oh William!, \u003c\/i\u003e which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; \n\u003ci\u003eOlive, Again; Anything Is Possible, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the Story Prize; \n\u003ci\u003eMy Name Is Lucy Barton; The Burgess Boys; Olive Kitteridge, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the Pulitzer Prize; \n\u003ci\u003eAbide with Me; \u003c\/i\u003eand \n\u003ci\u003eAmy and Isabelle, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the \n\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eArt Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the \n\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e Heartland Prize.
