Arthur has dementia and he lost his wife one year ago, she died during a house invasion, and this book is told by him how he sees things and interprets them, since he has dementia, maybe what he sees and thinks are not the full truth, so he is not a reliable narrator.
The story keeps you interested in knowing more, actually this book reminded me of the movie “the father” with Olivia Coleman, it gets really sad and we can see the confusion on Arthur, without spoilers I can say, if you’re like me and you like to me submerged in your books not fully understanding what is going on, or better thinking that you do, then realize that maybe you didn’t, but written in a very nice way, you will like Arthur, and really, if you’re like me, I think, you will like all the characters.
Actually I got a bit lost on my ARC-TBR shelf and I kind of left this one behind, if I knew I would like this book this much I would have tackled this before.
Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.
