A review by toniclark
Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante

3.0

It was a little better than just okay — and I applaud the author's handing of this unique voice/pov — but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as Emma Healey's "Elizabeth is Missing," another book with a first-person narrator who is slipping deeper into dementia. The reveal was not a big surprise; even so, the rationale was not well enough developed ahead of time. Also, I found some of the narrator's disquissitions on medical matters pretty implausible, given how far gone she was.
