Krátky popis
Penny, an artist, has lived in the same apartment for decades,
surrounded by the artifacts and keepsakes of her long life. She is
resigned to the mundane rituals of old age, until things start to
slip. Before her longtime partner passed away years earlier,
provisions were made, unbeknownst to her, for a room in a unique
long-term care residence, where Penny finds herself after one too
many ",incidents.", Initially, surrounded by peers, conversing,
eating, sleeping, looking out at the beautiful woods that surround
the house, all is well.She even begins to paint again. But as the
days start to blur together, Penny - with a growing sense of unrest
and distrust - starts to lose her grip on the passage of time and
on her place in the world. Is she succumbing to the subtly
destructive effects of aging, or is she an unknowing participant in
something more unsettling?At once compassionate and uncanny, told
in spare, hypnotic prose, Iain Reid's genre-defying third novel
explores questions of conformity, art, productivity, relationships,
and what, ultimately, it means to grow old.'I loved this book and
couldn't put it down - a deeply gripping, surreal and wonderfully
mysterious novel. Not only has Reid given us a brilliant page
turner, but a profoundly moving meditation on life and art, death
and infinity. Reid is a master' Mona Awad, author 13 Ways of
