Olive Kitteridge

A portrait of a tranquil New England town that secretly harbors illicit affairs, crime, and tragedy, told through Olive, whose sharp wit and stern demeanor conceal a warm but troubled heart and a steadfast moral center. Spanning 25 years, the story centers on Olive's relationships with her husband, Henry, the benevolent town pharmacist; their son, Christopher, who resents his mother's approach to parenting; and other members of the community.
