Claire, a nonagenarian, reminiscences - this is what this quick read is. Luckily, it is a smoothly flowing, fast-paced (in most parts) and intriguing study of a woman’s life with its ups and downs. What stood out for me was the third person POV, despite the stream of consciousness or your life as a movie before your eyes thinking, which was a better choice than a first person POV in my opinion, and the POV combined with Claire’s confusing, uncertainty, hence her unreliability.

3 solid stars.

With the blurb giving virtually everything away, this is not a tale of intrigue or suspense. Instead, it is very much a stream-of-consciousness character study, although there are occasional steps into Elizabeth Is Missing territory. This is fluently written and ideal for fans of character-led literary fiction.
With thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an independent review.
