This wonderful novel grabbed me with its immediate sense of heart and humor. Returning home for a year to help her father, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, 30 year-old Ruth introduces us to her family with a quirky tenderness as she navigates new uncertainty in her life. Full of poignant details and hilarious moments, the relationship between Ruth and her father is layered with complexity and emotion. The story remains moving and sweet, and never turns maudlin.
