Deze serie duikt in de complexe levens van de bewoners van een klein kustplaatsje in Maine. Met de scherpe maar zorgzame Olive Kitteridge in het middelpunt, verweeft het verhaal vertellingen over liefde, verlies, verraad en verlossing. Door scherp psychologisch inzicht en een vleugje ironie ontrafelt de auteur de verborgen verlangens en de breekbare aard van het menselijk hart. Het is een diep menselijke verkenning van het dagelijks leven en relaties, die resoneert met eerlijkheid en wijsheid.
At the edge of the continent, in the small town of Crosby, Maine, lives Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher who deplores the changes in her town and in the world at large but doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her.
