What an amazing story! Right from the first page, you are aware of the narrator's dementia. As the story progresses, you can see her confusion between the present and the past. What is so interesting, there is a second mystery within the main mystery. The confusion only increases as the book progresses, and you feel for her long-suffering daughter, and her utter frustration as she tries to cope. Yet the narrator's feelings are so poignant and clear. She uses countless slips of paper with notes to help her get through her day. She calls these her "paper brain", fully realizing her lack of memory. It's a sad, sad story, but so redeeming as well, as she struggles to solve what happened to her friend despite the odds. D.
