The As the Worm Turns Book Discussion Group will discuss Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout (Random House, $14).  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 of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her.  As the townspeople grapple with their problems, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition--its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.  Andy Ketterson will facilitate the discussion.  Space is limited, so please call to reserve your place.
