review 1: Excellent writing. An older man faces Alzheimer's and the depiction surely is accurate as to how it affects him. He and his wife live on a ranch in CO. They haven't gotten along well since their daughter was murdered years ago by her husband but now the wife is the caretaker. The chapters alternate between them giving each a chance to describe their circumstances. When the former son-in-law is released from prison, the old couple finally begin to deal with these issues leading to a surprising ending.
review 2: I was so moved by this short novel. It is about Renny and Ben who are estranged. Ben is struggling with Alzheimer's, and his wife is struggling with being his caretaker. They are both struggling with the murder of their daughter and the release of... more her murderer from prison. The book is beautifully written, and the characters are well developed. I cried as the characters let me into their lives. A story of family love and the tragedies that life deals us. Set in Colorado, the setting became one of the characters as well. I loved this book. less
