What a fantastic writer! I'm amazed that this is her debut novel. So well-written, great depth of characters, intriguing story. She truly shows the sad effects of dementia on 80-yo Maud. Story is told first person, and there are a few times when the timeline changes that I had to read a few sentences to realize which time I was reading about. But overall, so well written, even the switching back and forth was enjoyable.

I had seen the movie, starring Glenda Jackson, so had a glimpse of what to expect. As with all movies vs books, of course the book gave many more details. Truly worth reading!
