WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE - THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING HBO MINISERIES STARRING FRANCES MCDORMAND, RICHARD JENKINS, AND BILL MURRAY In a voice more powerful and compassionate than ever before, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout binds together thirteen rich, luminous narratives into a book with the heft of a novel, through the presence of one larger-than-life, unforgettable character: Olive Kitteridge. At the edge of the continent, Crosby, Maine, may seem like nowhere, but seen through this brilliant writer's eyes, it's in essence the whole world, and the lives that are lived there are filled with all of the grand human drama-desire, despair, jealousy, hope, and love. At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance: a former student who has lost the will to live: Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life-sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition-its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BYPeople - USA Today - The Atlantic - The Washington Post Book World - Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Entertainment Weekly - The Christian Science Monitor - San Francisco Chronicle - Salon - San Antonio Express-News - Chicago Tribune - The Wall Street Journal "Perceptive, deeply empathetic . . .

The book is a page-turner because of her."--San Francisco Chronicle "Olive Kitteridge still lingers in memory like a treasured photograph."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Rarely does a story collection pack such a gutsy emotional punch."--Entertainment Weekly "Strout animates the ordinary with astonishing force. . . . She] makes us experience not only the terrors of change but also the terrifying hope that change can bring: she plunges us into these churning waters and we come up gasping for air."--The New Yorker

10 stars!
Color: black, Color: black
These gift bags are on another level! The card stock is heavy duty and the quality is out of this world. Your guest will love anything inside this bag. The tassel and tiger tag is so unique and makes this extra special. It’s a medium sized bag and can hold a good amount of stuff. I would love to see these in different colors as well. Truly a wonderful gift bag!

Excellent looking large watch for the price.
Color: 2942 All Silver, Color: 2942 All Silver
The face of this watch is large and maybe it needs to be to fit in all the detail. There are multiple layers inside the face at different levels that make it look intricate and complex. The watch that I received was described as being all silver in the color selection. However, in reality, the face is mostly white with silver markings and silver detail. Even with all of the details and markings on the watch face, it’s still relatively easy to read the time because of the contrast between the polished silver color hands and the white face.
The bracelet and the watch itself is metal and heavy in feel. The watch is substantial to handle and feels solid. The bezel is curved rather than flat, adding to the interesting appearance of the watch. It has regular time, date, a timer that is activated by the upper and lower buttons on the side. The moon phase is settable with the stem. All functions of the watch are good, but the timer / stopwatch function a little imprecise and fidgety. I still like it because it’s decorative and complex looking.
The watch comes in a simple gift box with adequate padding and was wrapped in clear rubbery plastic material to keep it from scratches. There is an included tool that pushes the pins out of the bracelet so that you can change the size yourself. It’s very easy to use if you have a little coordination and patience. The pins are pushed out in the direction of the arrows on the inside of the bracelet. The bracelet feels solid and looks pretty good. The bracelet is wide making the watch look balanced, and helping create a comfortable wear experience with this relatively heavy all metal watch.
The cost of these watches is low, which might be good for those who are tough on their watches or lose them. That with a wide selection of styles and colors also makes it possible to have a collection without much investment. I have several of these watches and have not had one break or stop functioning. I’m amazed that they can offer such a decent looking watch at this price.

At This Point OLEVS Should Probably Sponsor My Husband
Color: 2942 Silver Black
This officially makes my husband’s eighth OLEVS watch, so I think it is safe to say we are fans at this point. Every time I think he surely does not need another watch, a new one shows up and somehow he immediately starts acting like he is starring in a luxury car commercial.
This particular model is gorgeous in person. The square face gives it a bold modern look that stands out from the typical round watches, and the black, silver, and blue combination looks very classy without feeling overdone. It has that expensive polished appearance that makes people assume it cost far more than it actually did.
My husband especially loves larger watches, and this one definitely makes a statement. The chronograph details and moon phase display give it a high end designer feel. Even though I honestly have no idea how often the average man truly needs to check a moon phase, it certainly looks impressive.
The stainless steel band feels sturdy and comfortable, and the watch itself has a nice weight without feeling bulky. He wears these watches constantly, from dinners out to everyday errands, and they hold up surprisingly well. Several of his OLEVS watches still look almost brand new after regular use.
One thing I appreciate is that they always look sharp and masculine without crossing into flashy territory. This watch paired perfectly with both a dress shirt and a simple black polo. It has that clean confident style that works for almost any occasion.
The luminous hands are also a nice touch because my husband somehow insists on checking the time in dark movie theaters like the rest of humanity stopped existing around him.
For the price, these watches continue to impress us. Stylish, reliable, and handsome enough that my husband keeps collecting them like potato chips. Apparently you really cannot stop at just one.
