By: Elizabeth Strout
Welcome to Maine - the way life should be! Each of Elizabeth Strout's thirteen short stories enters our consciousness as gently or as fiercely as the waves that crash against the rocky coast of Maine. Each echoes, in its own way, the rhythms of life. In the end, I, like Olive, finished with my eyes closed as "throughout my tired self swept waves of gratitude and regret." A nice way to end the summer! Review by Louise. (Fiction) 08/14/09
