David Hastings, a former businessman living with Alzheimer's disease, travels to Zurich with a young assistant. The more unpredictable journey takes place within his changing perception.
Kirkus highlights Emma Cline's control of perspective and bitter humour. The interesting challenge is that compassion need not make a character blameless. This is an intimate psychological reading choice about dependence, lost control and the instability of the personal story through which we recognise ourselves.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
