Three Ages of Woman

More about the book

Jennifer wants to tell her mother she's sorry for running away from home when she was a teenager, for staying away for ten years, and for all the things that happened between them. But now that she's ready to apologise, her mother has Alzheimer's and doesn't even remember what Jennifer has done - let alone who Jennifer is. In a desperate need for redemption, Jennifer brings her mother to live with her, her new husband, and her teenage daughter in hopes that she will remember her mother's life for her and that during one of those rare, lucid moments they can finally forgive each other. Living with Rose is not easy though; she requires constant care and often throws tantrums. With increasing pressure from her family to put Rose into a home, Jennifer is running out of time to unlock the secrets hidden in her memories and find out whether what went wrong between them can ever be made right...
