From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Thirteen linked tales from Strout (Abide with Me, etc.) present a heart-wrenching, penetrating portrait of ordinary coastal Mainers living lives of quiet grief intermingled with flashes of human connection. The opening Pharmacy focuses on terse, dry junior high-school teacher and her gregarious pharmacist husband, Henry, both of whom have survived the loss of a psychologically damaged parent, and both of whom suffer painful attractions to co-workers. Their son, Christopher, takes center stage in A Little Burst, which describes his wedding in humorous, somewhat disturbing detail, and in Security, where Olive, in her 70s, visits Christopher and his family in New York. Strout's fiction showcases her ability to reveal through familiar detailsthe mother-of-the-groom's wedding dress, a grandmother's disapproving observations of how her grandchildren are raisedthe seeds of tragedy. Themes of suicide, depression, bad communication, aging and love, run through these stories, none more vivid or touching than Incoming Tide, where Olive chats with former student Kevin Coulson as they watch waitress Patty Howe by the seashore, all three struggling with their own misgivings about life. Like this story, the collection is easy to read and impossible to forget. Its literary craft and emotional power will surprise readers unfamiliar with Strout. (Apr.)

Were always alone. Born alone. Die alone,says , redoubtable seventh-grade math teacher in Crosby, Maine. Anyone who gets in Olives wayhad better watch out, for she crashes unapologetically through life like an emotional storm trooper. Sheforces her husband, Henry, the town pharmacist, into tactical retreat; and she drives her beloved son,Christopher, across the country and into therapy. Butappalling thoughOlive can be, Stroutmanages to make her deeply human and even sympathetic, as areall of the characters in this novel in stories. Covering a period of 30-odd years, most of the stories(several of which were previously published in the New Yorker and other magazines) feature Olive as theirfocus, but in some she isbitplayer oreven a footnote while other characterstake center stage to sort through their own fears and insecurities. Though loneliness and loss haunt these pages,Strout also suppliesgentle humor anda nourishing dose of hope. People are sustained by the rhythms of ordinary life and the natural wondersof coastalMaine,and even Olive is sometimescaught off guardby lifes baffling beauty. Strout is also the author of the well-received Amy and Isabelle (1999) and Abide with Me (2006). --Mary Ellen Quinn --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
