Esme has spent 60 years in an institution. Iris receives notice that Esme is to be released and that she, Iris, is her next of kin. Iris has never heard of Esme and yet is told she is her grandmother Kitty's sister. Kitty is in a nursing home suffering from alzheimer's and Iris has no one else to turn to for information about this mysterious old lady who is evidently her relative.
The story is told in layers which gradually reveal how Esme came to be in the institution and exactly how she fits into the family.
In many ways the subject is a depressing one and yet this is an astonishingly beautiful book. I was mesmerised. by Susan Wight
