「斯特勞特所建構的故事，讓你彷彿自己就與奧麗芙同在，在她的屋內，在她居住的小鎮一同呼吸，一同感受。」─《泰晤士報》
故事延續奧麗芙的生活，10年後，她走向第二段婚姻，適應變化的過程中，她正在經歷人生後半段的考驗，有時幸福，有時卻不是。她和第二任丈夫一同迎接新生活，除了要面對疏遠她的兒子，還要讓新家人也能接受他。在緬因州的海濱小鎮經歷了失落和孤獨，見證人生的勝利與心碎時刻，最後，再度開啟人生的全新篇章。
Olive, Again follows the blunt, contradictory yet deeply loveable Olive Kitteridge as she grows older, navigating the second half of her life as she comes to terms with the changes - sometimes welcome, sometimes not - in her own existence and in those around her.
Olive adjusts to her new life with her second husband, challenges her estranged son and his family to accept him, experiences loss and loneliness, witnesses the triumphs and heartbreaks of her friends and neighbours in the small coastal town of Crosby, Maine - and, finally, opens herself to new lessons about life.
