![]() ![]() Palfrey and was touched by her challenges. The author was excellent at creating and capturing scenes and personalities of all the characters. ![]() I wish I could suggest that hijinks ensue but alas, it is really just a sad tale and an admonishment that we need to value our family members. ![]() She strikes up an interesting friendship with the young man and convinces him to pretend he is her grandson so she can show him off to the other residents. While out walking, staying active and learning more about her new London neighborhood, she takes a tumble outside of a writer’s apartment he kindly rescues her and calls her a taxi. I really enjoyed this sad yet comedic tale of an elderly lady who moves into a residence hotel so she would not be too lonely and yet have a place to live her almost last days. Checked out from the library – submitted for vote in my IRL book club as part of Books to Movie* Month but lost to A Single Man (please send good wishes to the universe that this is released to DVD before our next meeting because I screwed up and thought it was available – oops!) Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor, The Viking Press 1971, 178 pages. ![]()
