I have recommended a few times.
Difficult for me reading this. I am 78, thus between Ms Berg's age of 70 and the age of her parents in their 90s, but this memoir is amazing. It is about Ms. Berg's parents, and about her and her siblings attempting to negotiate their aging, their anger, their needs, their move from family home to Assisted Living. It is touching, it is fearsome.
I sure do recommend this book to all.
It doesn't have the answers, but what it does capture beautifully is our very lives.
I found that title available at my library. It must be popular because they have 33 copies. I reserved one. I'm not against tearing up when I hear real life stories- been there.
The reviewer from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch absolutely nailed it:
"Devastatingly good . . . Anyone who has had Chast’s experience will devour this book and cling to it for truth, humor, understanding, and the futile wish that it could all be different."
