Claudia, an elderly woman that was once a writer and somewhat prickly intellectual with an unconventional lifestyle, is now in hospital care. Her story (shifting between then and now) is told from her POV as well as other characters and third person omniscient. This surprisingly complex novel took a bit for me to get into it but the language, the feeling and the romance were worth it. @thearomaofbooks #septemberbookspin #tbr
