Book Review of Elizabeth is Missing

Elizabeth is Missing
Tunerlady avatar reviewed on + 581 more book reviews


This is one of the most unusual but well written books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Written in first person, from the perspective of an elderly lady experiencing dementia. The story is about the main character having lost her sister in 1946 in England. There are flashbacks that help to explain the back story. Her current friend, Elizabeth, is missing and no one will listen to her. Her daughter is her main caregiver, and the author does a superb job of showing the feelings and frustrations of someone in that position. How the author was able to write on this subject with such expert understanding is simply amazing. Excellent book - highly recommended!
