it took me a while to get into this because it's told from different peoples points of view- one being a schizophrenic twelve year old, one a 70 year old with alzheimers, and a 20 something year old.
basically the jest is that iris, the 20something gets a call saying that she needs to pick up her aunt from a psychiatric hospital which is closing down. iris has no knowledge of this aunt and doesnt believe she exists. the story is of her finding out who her aunt is and why shes been in a hospital for 60 years. the past is told from her aunt and her grandmothers point of view. i really got into it towards the end, where a bunch of family secrets come out.
it actually turned out to be a really great book.
