Eudora Honeysett has lived a full life, and witnessed the indignities and suffering of old age. At eighty-five, her end will be on her terms. A call to a clinic in Switzerland sets the plan in motion. Then she meets ten-year-old Rose Trewidney, a pint-sized rainbow of color and sparkling cheer. Eudora finds herself embarking on a series of adventures with Rose and their neighbor, the recently widowed Stanley. Eudora is reminded of her own childhood-- and realizes she must come to terms with what lies ahead. -- adapted from jacket

Sweet submitted by cldaniels on July 14, 2022, 8:24pm This sweet novel seemed like a female version of A Man Called Ove. A cranky old lady wanting to die is befriended by a 10 year old. Predictable but enjoyable.
