Dr. James Darke meditates on what he has loved and lost over the course of his life. I found his musings endearing, though surly, until around the middle when he deep-dived into his deceased wife's struggle with cancer. Talk about #misery! And I soon found myself tiring of his ceaseless conflict with his daughter who he is trying to cut ties with. Charming writing, but could've used some editing.
