This was a strange little book.
Journal entries from an old woman living in a town where the water and rain wipes away your memory. We follow her through suicide thoughts, loneliness, happiness and determination.
This book is very short so there isn’t much I can say that won’t give it away. Is there action? No. Do you have a mystery you solve during reading? No. It’s just a look into someone’s mind, someone’s kind who keeps forgetting little things and trying so hard to hold on to her memory.
