Olive Kitteridge

Quotes from a lovely read:
"They had fun together these days, they really did. It was as if marriage had been a long, complicated meal, and now there was this lovely dessert."
"What young people didn't know, she thought, lying down beside this man, his hand on her shoulder, her arm: oh, what young people didn't know....And if her platter had been full with the goodness of Henry and she had found it burdensome, had flicked it off crumbs at a time, it was because she had not known what one should know: that day after day was unconsciously squandered."
