And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer And Longer

 I listened to a novella by one of my favorite authors, Frederik Bachman. And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer And Longer is the story of a grandfather suffering from dementia and his relationships with his son and his grandson. Grandfather calls the grandson Noah Noah. He takes him fishing. He encourages his math skills. Grandfather was very interested in math and so is Noah Noah. One day Grandfather takes Noah Noah 0ut in the bay in the fishing boat even though he is not supposed to do that anymore. Noah Noah is at the hospital with Grandfather and he is trying to understand if Grandfather is in pain because of the fall in the boat or because of the dementia. This was a truly lovely story about three men navigating the lives and their relationships and I loved every minute of this short book.
