A beautiful tale of the end of a long, long life.
Mosley gives us a mind's eye view of Ptolemy Grey, who, other than suffering from early stages of Dementia, is an extremely healthy 91-year-old. When a doctor gives him the option of mental clarity at the risk of death, Ptolemy takes this Devil's bargain and lives the rest of his life as best he can.
We get only snapshots of the lives of these rich characters, and are left to fill in the blanks in our own imagination.
I could not put this book down.
