Inheriting Edith: A Novel par Zoe Fishman
Interested book about single mother, Alzheimer’s, adoption, and choices.
I found the book in a local free little library. I fell in love with Edith and decided she would be one of my goto books. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter!
I don't think the summary/blurb does this book justice. Yes, there is a lot about wanting to fit, but what I found more important was the caring description of someone with an eating disorder and how the world around them pressures them - and how these pressures are internalized. And then there is a lot of other stuff in this coming-of-age novel.
And, one tiny reference to Auburn, just saying.

This was such a good way to present dementia from the point of view of Edith, the person experiencing it, and Maggie, her newest help, along with almost "freee" year old Lucy---adjusting to an unusual set of circumstances. There were so many issues that Fishman presented---and worked through. Everything did not get solved so the reader is left with questions but that is life...there aren's always answers, even in a novel. I have not read Zoe Fishman before so this was a good introduction and I'm very happy she has more books!… (plus d'informations)
