My rating: 4.4Iris gets a call that she has a great Aunt, Esme, that she never knew about who is about to be released from the asylum. Iris visits her Alzheimer inflicted grandmother, Kitty, to ask her about her never before mentioned sister. O'Farrell spins a wonderful tale told by Iris, Esme and Kitty. Kitty and Esme's portions are told in unfinished thoughts/sentences that capture their befuddled metal states so well and, in the process, reveal history in dribs and drabs until you piece together what happened. A very enjoyable read.
