The author captured the nuances of an excellent assisted living home and the small ways it functions. It is better staffed than any I know of but what a joy to see.The actions and thoughts of the elderly (I guess it's ok at say 90 is elderly) are nicely portrayed. The small details of what you watch for, what you worry about. I was impressed by the way the daughter and Essie worked out how to select what to give away, throw away and what to keep. It gave Essie and her daughter and grandson a chance to hear and appreciate her experiences. I had expected there would be a confrontation and I was already preparing which side I would be on.I do hate the cover though. It makes it appear that the book is a cartoon-ish rendition of being old. Buffoon-ish. I suppose the rest of your books are similar. I shall have to ignore the covers.
