I really liked this book. It's a quiet sort of novel, filled with everyday activities, but the setting is a future San Francisco, flooded and always raining. The narrator is Bo, an artist who no longer does art, she's alone, grieving, and cannot bring herself to leave the city, her home, even though everyone tells her she should join what remains of her family in Canada. She takes a job caretaking for a VERY old woman in her building, Mia. They build routines, Bo learns a lot about the history of the city through Mia's stories, she gets back into making art, and the ending is bittersweet. A really lovely book.
