I cannot explain why I liked this book so much given there is very little plot she even less action. Yet I stop sacrificed sleep to finish this tonight. I suppose I take Alzheimer’s more seriously because it runs on both sides of my family, and I like the idea of potentially resolving it by revisiting time.

Unexpected.
I think the blurb of the book does not do it justice. I would say that what it was advertised as is not necessarily what the book is.
It took a while for me to get into this. It has a lot of history and politics in it. I was a little disappointed that more of it wasn’t about these ‘clinics of the past’. However, that’s likely from the poor description of what you’re picking up.
I like it. Particularly in the last third of the book. It hits you with an interesting development. It would probably be more appealing to a person with a greater appreciation for European history and politics.
