Cathy Kleinbart asked this question about Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1):

I also related to Olive in many different ways, and was haunted by this book. I've finally broke down and started watching the HBO series which I LOVE! I think I loved Olive even more thru Francis McDormand who IS the perfect Olive. She really made that character come alive for me, and with Tom Hanks as an exc producer ,how could you go wrong?? Plus, I have strong ties to Maine, and it made me homesick for the sea and the Mainers.(less)
