Olive Kitteridge, una maestra jubilada, observa a los habitantes de Crosby, el pequeño pueblo de Maine donde ha vivido durante treinta años. Olive deplora los cambios en su pequeña localidad y en el mundo en general, pero no siempre sabe ver los trances dolorosos o las alegrías más íntimas que cruzan las vidas de sus vecinos.

En cuanto pudieron, Jim y Bob Burgess huyeron de su pueblo natal en Maine a Nueva York. Jim, un elegante y exitoso abogado corporativo, lleva toda la vida subestimando a su hermano, y Bob, un abogado del estado que idolatra a Jim, ha llevado una vida tranquila. Sin embargo, esta dinámica se ve alterada cuando la hermana de los dos, Susan, que se quedó en su pueblo, los llama por un asunto urgente. Su hijo adolescente se ha metido en un mundo de problemas, y Susan necesita desesperadamente su ayuda.

Lucy Bartons ("Alles ist möglich", "Die langen Abende") Erinnerungen an ihren ersten Ehemann, an Verlust und lebenslange Verbundenheit. Lucy Barton erzählt von der komplexen und innigen Beziehung zu ihrem ersten Mann William, der ihr auch nach der Scheidung Vertrauter und Freund blieb. Mit ihm wurde sie erwachsen, mit ihm bekam sie zwei Töchter, erlebte aber auch das schmerzvolle Ende ihrer Ehe. Beide bauten sich ein neues Leben mit anderen Menschen auf und blieben doch jahrzehntelang miteinander verbunden.

Olive er hverken den ideelle hustru, mor eller ven. Hun er modsat sin mand, den godhjertede Henry, sådan én man slår sig på: kontant, ikke bange for at sige sandheden, og så skåner hun på ingen måde andre for sine humørsvingninger. Men mest af alt er hun menneskelig - på en måde, der gør det svært ikke at holde af hende. Gennem tretten historier med den pensionerede skolelærer Olive som bindeled giver Olive Kitteridge indblik i livet i den lille by Crosby i Maine og tager os med ind bag facaden på en kvinde, der på sin egen kantede facon hele tiden forsøger at blive et bedre menneske.

Lucy Barton se está recuperando lentamente en el hospital de lo que debería haber sido una operación simple. Desde la ventana de su habitación, en pleno centro de Manhattan, el edificio Chrysler se ilumina cada noche marcando el paso del tiempo, que avanza lento.

Las dos mujeres pasarán unos días juntas, entre silencios y pequeños chismes sobre las vidas de personas que Lucy dejó atrás hace tiempo al irse de casa para perseguir su sueño de ser escritora en la gran ciudad.
