OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB returned for its second installment on Friday, January 17, 2020, featuring Elizabeth Strout and her book, "Olive, Again," a follow-up to "Olive Kitteridge." In this episode, Elizabeth tells Oprah how her celebrated protagonist reappeared and why she finds the everydayness of life to be extraordinary. "My latest pick is Elizabeth Strout's 'Olive, Again.' Ah, Olive. She teaches us so much about loneliness, judgment, aging, and loss. And empathy, too. I'm in awe of Strout's ability to convey so much in so few words," said Oprah.
