Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor

4.0

4.5 A friend sent me this little gem with no comment, so I had no idea what to expect. There's fussy fun Britishness but also a crisp, unsentimental (bit still kind) look into the lives of widows and widowers who know they've reached the last stop (or maybe the second to stop) on their way out of the world. It's honest enough to be kind of existentially disturbing at times, but it's mostly a small story of multiple private lives, very well told.
