Unbecoming by Jenny Downham

3.0

Insightful presentation of both caring for someone with Alzheimer's and actually suffering from it yourself, and a sensitive coming-out story. But this is billed as a book about three women, and the middle third is sorely underrepresented. The chances we got to understand all that Caroline had been through and all she was currently going through were marred by her inability to deal with it appropriately. As someone in the sandwich generation myself, though with more distance and fewer complications, I wanted to sympathize with her, but the narrative continually pushed me away.
