I didn't think I'd want to read a book two about her (sequels almost always disappoint me) but I was surprised to find that I was glad it was written and glad that I read it.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-30981548149270659282020-05-19T17:23:38.183-04:002020-05-19T17:23:38.183-04:00I liked this novel when it came out.

As you say, the individual stories reveal ordinary people going about their business and the irascible Olive's interactions with each of them. It was a great way to tell the story which she continued in <i>Olive, Again.</i> I wonder if there will ever be another "Olive," maybe with her in her 80s. I'd sure read that!
