New York Times best-selling author Helene Wecker (The Golem and the Jinni) brings us inside the disintegrating mind of a German-Jewish grandmother in this sometimes chilling, sometimes heartwarming, consistently riveting story. When Gerda Kohl moves from the home in which she raised her family to a posh new retirement center, she must decide what to take with her and what to leave behind. This includes not only photographs, furniture, and mementos but weightier items, too - warring daughters, rebellious grandchildren, and the ghosts of a past that seems increasingly more real than the present.

CW: Racism, Mental Degradation
This is a well written, rather spartan short story about an old lady losing touch with her present and making sporadic connections with the past as her mental health degrades. It's bleak and effective, though I didn't feel particularly emotionally connected or affected by it.
Competent, cold, and somewhat clinical. Not necessarily my sort of thing, as I would want a story like this to really emotionally hook me. ( )
