Tell Me Everything - Elizabeth Strout

 This was a fun re-visit to previous characters by this author.  Olive Kitteredge reappears in Maine, a curmudgeon in her old age, observing, advising and consoling her neighbors.  It's not so much a story as a chance to walk about a group of people in their town going about their daily lives.  

Quote:

 "He had told this story to [his wife] when they first me, he had also told his first wife, Pam Carlson, and they were both kind about it but it was one of Bob's adult understandings:  People did not care, except for maybe one minute.  It was not their fault, most just could not really care past their own experiences."
