Olive, Again - Elizabeth Strout

Olive Ketteridge becomes of old age. This collection of stories is a kind of second part of the previous one and continues to portray life in Crosby, Maine. The peculiar Olive is once again the central figure. Marriage, sons and daughters, in-laws, grief, old age and death are the issues that are touched. That is, life as Strout knows it. Very good writing if a bit depressing.
