Switzy

Emma Cline has written the most arresting and emotionally convincing portrayal of dementia I have ever read. David is making one final journey, hoping to say goodbye to his daughter and reconnect with an old friend whose absence has long haunted him before traveling to Switzerland, where he has chosen medical aid in dying. Unflinching yet deeply compassionate, this novel asks what makes a life well lived and whether success, wealth, and recognition are enough when measured against love, regret, and the relationships we leave behind. Wowza.
