Iris, a successful vintage clothing shop owner, finds out that she has a great-aunt that her grandmother has kept hidden in a mental institution for over sixty years. The story unfolds as Iris decides to help Esme become part of mainstream society, and is told through various narrative voices. It can be a little difficult to follow at times, since Iris’ grandmother (Kitty) has Alzheimer’s, and her narrative voice is very disjunctive. Ultimately Iris begins to find herself as she learns from Esme’s story, about refusing to give in to society’s restrictions. Well written, it is a fast read; the only problem is the ending leaves much to be desired.
