Beautifully written - narrated from the point of view of a woman with Parkinson’s trying to solve the mystery of her daughter’s death, but also addressing so many societal issues for women especially. Loved it so much. Something in the narration reminded me of Mrs. Dalloway, how we get to follow all the thoughts of one person as they go through their day. The ordinary becoming something worth considering and significant.
