Olive, Again: Signed First Edition (Hardback)

'Olive, Again is, in its way, a perfect novel. As compelling and unsettling as anything Strout has ever written' - The Financial Times

'Strout's control of her narrative is so sure….what a thing indeed!' - The Guardian

'From loneliness and incontinence to baflfement at 21st-century mores, Strout offers a vivid, granular portrait of old age, entirely non-maudlin, but without playing for laughs.' - The Daily Mail

'This is Olive in later life and she's even more Olive-y than before. Big. Brusque. Sensitive. Surprising.' - The Times

'Olive, Again, like Strout's first book , delivers roughly five hours of spine-tingling pleasure.' - The Sunday Times

'A powerful storyteller immersed in the nuances of human relationships.' - The Observer

'Strout really can write you into a world until you feel you are there with her, in that house, that life, that little Podunk of a place.' - The Times

'Writing of this quality comes from a commitment to listening, from a perfect attunement to the human condition, from an attention to reality so exact that it goes beyond a skill and becomes a virtue.' - Hilary Mantel on 'My Name is Lucy Barton'

'Elizabeth Strout's prose is like words doing jazz.' - Rachel Joyce

'Strout, always good, just keeps getting better.' - Vogue

'A writer at the peak of her powers.' - Literary Review

'It's hard to believe that a year after the astonishing My Name Is Lucy Barton Elizabeth Strout could bring us another book that is by every measure its equal, but what Strout proves to us again and again is that where she's concerned, anything is possible. This book, this writer, are magnificent.' - Ann Patchett on 'Anything is Possible'

'Strout animates the ordinary with astonishing force.' - The New Yorker
