A husband wakes up to find his wife has had a seizure during the night. He sits by her bedside in the hospital, trying to think of ways to wake her up, and dreaming that she will wake up. Years later their grandson retells their story, in order to understand the power of love.

Quick, bleak, emotional. The language is a simple, contemplative English – no names, sparse dialog, very little in the way of setting or plot. Just the story of a wife's slow decline, told by the husband, the stroke-stricken wife, and their grandson. It's a pretty powerful look at sickness, healing, hope, and (gulp) death, but the spare style kept me from being completely immersed.
