This book is about the relationship between a woman and her housekeeper. I thought it would be fundamentally about class and maybe mildly interesting. But it turned out to be so much more. It is about what we spend our time on and who we spend our time with. It is about how we care for people and things. It is about our right to live and die as we wish. It is about the things that seem big, but often aren't. And it is about the things that seem small and often aren't. Really well done. Full of surprises.
