Her Final Fabulous Days is a fantastic and wonderful story about suffering a stroke. It is touching, striking and dreadful, but also bright, playful and life-affirming. It is about losing oneself, and the journey back to who one is. About getting to know oneself again through literature and finding one’s own language again. It is about an excessively hot summer and the longing for cold and clarity. It is a novel about courage and strength and indomitable will, told with verve and humor.
