my take: a devastating, beautiful novel told from the perspective of an Alzheimer’s victim. as the disease progresses, the narrative changes to reflect her limited cognitive experience and i found myself walking in her ever shrinking shoes, so to speak. also, it was unnerving as i found my own memory lapses more noticeable. this book will haunt you.

my source: book chicks 2010 (i think i own this book but it is not on the shelf)
