A scathing yet touching portrait of life in one of those places that used to be known as ?old people's homes?, now known as ?retirement homes?. What goes on behind the doors? Whose lives are slowly coming to an end there?
With tenderness and often ferocious humour, the author describes a whole parade of characters: the tyrannical old lady, the kind little roommate, the actress, the beauty queen? The narrator interweaves her own heartbreaking story of the final days of a loving relationship between mother and daughter.
