In the hands of a lesser writer this could have been something of a mundane book. Dying and death are not exactly fun topics. However Giacobino is such a superb writer that the the character of our unnamed narrator shines through. Her intelligence, her willingness to confront her situation, her humour, her devotion to Nora but also to Malvina and Gabriela, her strength of character, her keen observation of the world around her, acceptance of her situation and her willingness to take the initiative when necessary make her a formidable character and not a doddery old lady, as she so easily could have been and therefore make this book a joy to read with a surprising but superb ending.
