I was sorry to finish this book.  It is focused on how the life of a husband (Walter) changes after 50+ years of marriage when his wife becomes ill.  The author does an excellent job of flushing out supporting characters with brief encounters and memories.  The pieces of the lives fit together well while the lives evolve to fit the circumstances.
