A strange and oddly powerful story of a young girl, the daughter of a slightly-fanatical clergyman, and her coming of age in the midst of the disintegration of her parents' marriage in the period between the World Wars. Her revelations come from multiple sources, most movingly those of a gifted painter living with Alzheimer's in a sort of 'rest home.' A cast of oddball characters and thoughtful, idiosyncratic dialogue make this engaging.
