用户评论
父亲身患阿尔茨海诺，女儿一笔一划，十年如一日的记录下照顾父亲的岁月，虽然都是生活中的平凡琐事，甚至于就是流水账，但不妨碍感人温情细节的流露。比如，父亲夜里突然来一句:You're my daughter, 就可以叫人热水盈眶。（又是一本拖了N久才完成的书。）
扑面而来的A24感；很多场景像是不喝酒的卡佛写的，比如她和Joel初遇，比如她和他爸逛宠物店。bittersweet的小丧和小暖，很喜欢了
非常慢节奏，琐碎而暖心。后面部分＂今天⋯⋯＂＂今天⋯⋯＂就跟父亲在女儿幼时用便签记下的趣事同样的格式，看到这种轮回特别触心。书一开始读觉得很闷，然而读到最后居然有点想哭。爱，字里行间
A diary of a year from a 30-year-old recently-disengaged-and-unemployed woman who moved back with her parents for her Alzheimer father. Witty and insightful from the beginning. How I wish I could write my diary like hers. Tender and touching in the last 50 pages. Couldn't bear to reread this part. Loving but helpless yet still optimism throughout.
一天看完了这本小说 不知道该说什么 好像对婚姻的期待和畏惧又更深了
