The Things We Keep

Apparently I'm stuck in the curse of 3 stars. But it's a well written book - hers usually are - and with a very interesting plot - early set on Alzheimer's. It's sad, but also good enough that you feel a flicker of hope, etc etc. It's not moving like Lisa Genova's Still Alice (I actually went back to my review of hers thinking if I had given her three stars I would have to review my whole concept), but it's good and solid.

What a wonderfully uplifting read.
I devoured this in a night, the perfect comfort read.

The book is set in a residential care facility and highlights several amazing relationships, particularly that of Anna and Luke, two young residents with memory issues.
The poignant way in which several trigger subjects like Alzheimer's, consent and suicide are handled is just beautiful.

Highly recommend.
