Lunch at the Piccadilly by Clyde Edgerton

My mom is living in the memory unit of a retirement community, and she has stroke-related dementia. I liked this book because I felt that the conversations and events have occurred at retirement centers everywhere. The story is bittersweet, and while I laughed at many incidents, I also teared up several times. Whether or not you enjoy this book will depend on your age and your interactions with your own family, especially older members.
The story is set in North Carolina, and that is where I was born and raised. While the setting wasn't important enough to count as a character, I could relate to references made about the various religious groups in the South.
Lyrics to Carl's and L.Ray's country gospel songs are in the back. My favorite title is "How Come I Miss You When You're with Me All the Time?"
