Elizabeth is Missing was liked by all and lead to a lot of discussion about the story and personal experiences of family with dementia. Although the ended seemed a bit rushed.
Our next book is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
"In her tenth novel, Margaret Atwood again demonstrates that she has mastered the art of creating dense, complex fictions from carefully layered narratives, making use of an array of literary devices - flashbacks, multiple time schemes, ambiguous, indeterminate plots - and that she can hook her readers by virtue of her exceptional story-telling skills"
