A Lonely Man
Chris PowerBee WilsonI agree with this review of A Lonely Man by @chris_power: a plot-driven thriller that is also something 'self-questioning' and deeper. It's one of the most readable books I've read this year - cinematic post-Le Carre scenes of paranoia in Berlin - but it also stays with you. https://t.co/d8ibYmGMwW

Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain
Dasha KiperBee WilsonThese are the two books on dementia (in proof form). I recommend both of them highly, especially Travellers to Unimaginable Lands by Dasha Kipur, a book so quietly profound I feel everyone should read it, whether you have a family member with dementia or not. https://t.co/q64F2UKPMI

The Year of Magical Thinking: National Book Award Winner
Joan DidionBee WilsonSo sad about the death of Joan Didion.
