The Swimmers

This book was not what I expected (in a good way!) – it was sad, tender, honest, heart-wrenching, and so thought-provoking. The writing style is so unique and interesting. I loved Anne Bogel's review of this book on her blog:

"The surprising pivot from snappy social commentary to a devastating portrait of encroaching dementia is effective and moving. Otsuka is a master of the tiny details throughout, be they witty or heartbreaking."
