Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout

Elizabeth Strout is a fine writer, and novels such as The Burgess Boys and My Name Is Lucy Barton are very good. Still, Olive Kitteridge, her 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of interrelated stories, has an immediacy and fierceness that one finds in only the very greatest books. Sequels nearly always disappoint, and it cannot be said that Olive, Again has quite the range and power of its predecessor. Nevertheless, the book does an excellent job of revivifying the ill-tempered, truth-telling Olive and her neighbors in and around fictional Crosby, Maine.

Greater Portland’s 9 Best Under-The-Radar Thrift Shops For Incredible Bargains

Somewhere in southern Maine, you can buy secondhand clothes by the pound. Not by the shirt or the hanger, but by weight, straight out of rolling bins. That detail alone sent me down a rabbit hole. My list grew fast: a church shop with old-school prices, a community center closet open only a few mornings a week, and a resale spot that invites you to race to the rack.

Forget Boring Grocery Runs Because These Maine Markets Make Christmas Food Shopping Feel Special

One Maine grocery stop on this list built its name on sauerkraut. Yes, the humble fermented cabbage somehow became the headliner, and I love that more than I can explain. The rest of the lineup gets just as fun. One market runs a full-service butcher counter beside rows of local goods. Another bakes fresh desserts in the middle of a harbor town, and a co-op stocks bulk spices perfect for holiday cookies.

This week at the Harbor Theater

"Wicker" - (R; 1 hour, 45 minutes) - In a quiet seaside village where tradition rules and gossip travels fast, a fiercely independent fisherwoman (Oliva Colman) has had enough of being mocked and judged by her narrow-minded neighbors. Tired of being treated as an outcast and determined to find happiness on her own terms, she makes an extraordinary decision: commissioning a husband crafted entirely from wicker. But when her unconventional companion becomes the center of an unexpected romance, the village erupts in jealousy, outrage, and increasingly outrageous chaos. Blending dark comedy, romance, and a touch of the fantastical, Wicker is a wonderfully eccentric tale about love, loneliness, and the absurd lengths people will go to preserve the status quo. Both mischievous and surprisingly heartfelt, this offbeat story challenges expectations about relationships, belonging, and what it really means to find your perfect match. Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m.
