A very intimate and challenging look at what it is like to live with a debilitating illness. Piñeiro masterfully puts you inside the head of Elena, an older woman with Parkinson's disease who is trying to find answers about her daughter's apparent suicide. Reading the way Elena is treated by people as she tries to navigate her daily life and find answers about her daughter's death made for eye-opening and at times, very heavy and emotional reading. I really recommend this, especially if you have no personal experience with this kind of illness.
