"Beautiful, brainy, and offbeat" (Entertainment Weekly), a perfect sophisticated summer read. By turns funny, charming, and tragic, Rosecrans Baldwin's debut novel introduces leading Alzheimer's researcher Dr. Victor Aaron, who spends his days alternating between long hours in the lab and running through memories of his late wife, Sara. He's preserved their marriage as a perfect, if tumultuous, duet between two opposite but compatible souls. Until the day he discovers a series of index cards in Sara's handwriting that chronicle the major "changes in direction of their marriage." Suddenly this eminent memory expert finds his faith in memory itself unraveling, and he must, along with his support network of strong women-from his lab assistant to Aunt Betsy, the doddering doyenne of the island where they all live-determine a way to move on.

The manipulation of the lower classes by religion, political persons, and various other groups with power are at the center of the troubles in Illizbuah.
There are some well crafted fight scenes and the various journeys across and through the city are inventive and interesting.
There is the development of a romantic relationship between the two women but it is not prurient. Their relationship models respecting of boundaries and that trust is a solid foundation for any relationship.
It is an interesting series. I haven't recommended this book in years; I keep the series on my bookshelf for my own joy. I did recommend it when I used to have friends who read sci-fi and fantasy.
