“From [Suzy] Charnas, a true and tender account of caring for her
aging father from the time of his truculent arrival at her home to his
irascible last illness and death… The author makes good use of entries
from [her father’s] journals, full of amusing, brittle, sad, and
hopeful anecdotes and musings, epigrams, and reflections on art and
life…to capture the mix of guilt, longing, impatience, and empathy
that characterizes their relationship. Anyone who has cared for aging
and ill parents will recognize and perhaps be comforted by this frank
delineation of the mixed emotions called up by the death of a father.”
—Kirkus Reviews “…a moving, thoughtful… never sentimental account of how daughter and
father get to know each other in middle and old age…Robin’s unique
combination of eccentricity and strength speaks for itself… Charnas’
story is bound to be a guidebook and an inspiration for anyone caring
for aging parents.”
