The ending bordered on a tiny bit too strange for me but overall I enjoyed this story. Well written and atmospheric, and kept me hooked to the very last page.

A sweet story of a young girl's attempts to come to terms with her grandmother's dementia diagnosis. I'm yet to read anything by Jasbinder Bilan that I haven't liked.

I didn't dislike this, I just felt no investment whatsoever in the characters or the story. I felt completely detached emotionally and had to force myself to pick it up. Maybe just a case of bad timing!
