The novel delves into her brain in the last part of her life. She has some dementia. She seems to think time is passing in a linear fashion. However, her experiences are jumping around. An injury is "miraculously" healed. A friend is suddenly much older. Suddenly a bunch of paintings have been created.
The novel is deeply disturbing. Is this how aging happens? Or is this interpreted to be a supernatural book? Getting old and losing memory is very scary. Is it even worth it enduring this "half life" in the old age?
