NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK * Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions. "Strout managed to make me love this strange woman I'd never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific writer she is."--Zadie Smith, The Guardian "Just as wonderful as the original . . . Olive, Again poignantly reminds us that empathy, a requirement for love, helps make life 'not unhappy.'"--NPR  NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PEOPLE AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time * Vogue * NPR * The Washington Post * Chicago Tribune * Vanity FairEntertainment Weekly * BuzzFeed * Esquire * Real SimpleGood Housekeeping * The New York Public Library * The Guardian * Evening Standard Kirkus Reviews * Publishers Weekly * BookPage   Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is "a compelling life force" (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout "animates the ordinary with an astonishing force," and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire us--in Strout's words--"to bear the burden of the mystery with as much grace as we can." Praise for Olive, Again "Olive is a brilliant creation not only because of her eternal cantankerousness but because she's as brutally candid with herself about her shortcomings as she is with others. Her honesty makes people strangely willing to confide in her, and the raw power of Ms. Strout's writing comes from these unvarnished exchanges, in which characters reveal themselves in all of their sadness and badness and confusion. . . . The great, terrible mess of living is spilled out across the pages of this moving book. Ms. Strout may not have any answers for it, but she isn't afraid of it either."--The Wall Street Journal… (més)

Llum de febrer és una novel·la profundament commovedora sobre l’amor, la pèrdua, el penediment, les complexitats del matrimoni i el pas del temps.
Eixuta, rondinaire i franca, i, malgrat tot, ha captivat els lectors d’arreu del món. Amb els anys, ¿s’ha endolcit l’Olive Kitteridge? Doncs encara té aquell caràcter feréstec i continua dient clarament el que pensa, però, a mesura que s’ha apropat a la vellesa, la vida li ha canviat. Quan menys s’ho espera, troba un últim company de viatge, al costat del qual seguim els seus intents d’entendre’s a si mateixa, la nova situació que viu i les persones que l’envolten.Amb perspicàcia i empatia, Elizabeth Strout dona veu a un personatge únic que ens parla de la vida quotidiana de Crosby, el petit poble costaner de Maine on sembla que no passi mai res, tot teixint personatges delicats i complexos, però excepcionalment propers, les vides dels quals contenen un món sencer.

In the early afternoon on a Saturday in June, Jack Kennison put on his sunglasses, got into his sports car with the top down, strapped the seatbelt over his shoulder and across his large stomach, and drove to Portland---almost an hour away---to buy a gallon of whiskey rather than bump into Olive Kitteridge at the grocery store here in Crosby, Maine.

So there was this, too: her son had married his mother, as so many men—in some form or other—eventually do.
Kayley could actually feel a small wave of pain go through her chest at times, and she would think: This is why they say a person's feelings are hurt, because they do hurt.
And it came to him then that it should never be taken lightly, the essential loneliness of people, that the choices they made to keep themselves from that gaping darkness were choices that required respect:
Maybe you fall in love with people who save your life, even when you think it's not worth saving.
I do not have a clue who I have been. Truthfully, I do not understand a thing.
