Letters for Emily by Camron Wright

3.0

I enjoyed reading this book, and thought it was a touching story of an elderly man's efforts to connect with his family posthumously. The major downside for me was that the medical information contained within did not seem well-researched. This book was published in 2001, so it is entirely possible that the book was current with the knowledge of the time and I am judging it for not knowing what we know in 2017, but the conversations with medical professionals seemed unrealistically thrown together and not well-researched. Because this book discusses Alzheimer's, dementia, and depression fairly extensively, this was a distracting problem.

I did, however, enjoy the grandfather's letters to Emily, and the impact that he had on his family even after he was gone.
