Die langen Abende

"I miss the coast of Maine too," Olive said to Jack. And from that moment on, everything was fine. In Crosby, a small town on the coast of Maine, not much happens. Yet the stories about the lives of the people there contain the whole world. There is Olive Kitteridge, a retired teacher who, even at seventy, still meddles in everything, as brusque as ever. Then there is Jack Kennison, a former Harvard professor, who seeks her company. Both miss their children, who have become strangers to them, and Olive and Jack are not entirely innocent in this… A moving novel that tells of love and loss, aging and loneliness, of moments of happiness and wonder.
