Where The Light Gets In by Lucy Dillon
5.0
Another amazing book by Lucy Dillon.
I myself am not an arty person at all, so the topic itself did do nothing for me - but the characters once again captured me quickly.
Me still having 4 grandparents (youngest one turned 90 a couple of weeks back) meant I could so well engage with the caring for elderly people. It is wonderful but hard too.
In this one I didn't think the characters as "cliche" as with the last book. They felt three dimensional and well fleshed out! They had flaws and strengths and just felt real to me.
I loved just how well the mix of stubborness, self reliance, helplessness and strong will of the elderly main character was portrayed.
And I especially liked the end that actually made me cry, which happens very rarely. It wasn't purely sad tears though - more the sort that leave you relieved. The end was done realistic and not overly soppy. And it was perfect for the story.
Can't really recommend this one enough!
