Wow. Certainly one of my favorite reads of this year. This a powerful story that explores the idea of bodily autonomy vs imposed control. It approaches this topic from a variety of angles and perspectives, including religion, motherhood, and illness. Elena is dealing with a severe case of Parkinson's while also coming to terms with her daughter's death. Her grief and denial takes her on a journey to understand her daughter and her role as a mother. An intense story that will grip you tight and challenge your own ideas about the themes presented here.
