Incredible mystery told from the point of view of a woman in the throes of dementia. Former orthopedic surgeon Jennifer White’s neighbor and long-time friend has been murdered and she is a suspect. The narrative alternates between Dr. White’s moments of lucidity and episodes of complete disconnect where she may believe she is 18 years old again or that her dead mother is beside her. In an especially surreal scene she escapes her care facility and goes to a free clinic and begins to treat patients. We learn about her past in snips all the while trying to follow what’s going on in her present. Surprisingly it works very well. Engrossing novel that keeps you thinking, what if it were me?
