Cathy Kleinbart asked this question about Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1):
I read this a few years ago and it has haunted me ever since. I'm wondering if anyone else felt that way. I recently found out that a movie or mini series is in the works. As much as I believe the novel was beautifully written, I won't be watching because I just found it so very sad and maybe "too" relaistic. Anyone else feel that way?
Megan I agree. I was depressed and sad while reading this but found it such a realistic book and beautifully written. I think Olive will stay with me for so…moreI agree. I was depressed and sad while reading this but found it such a realistic book and beautifully written. I think Olive will stay with me for some time. I, too, recognized myself in Olive. I'm not sure if I can watch the series.(less)
