This fascinating novel, set in the jazz world of New Orleans, explores music and memory.
A neuroscientist studying the brain, loses his mother to Alzheimer's disease. In pursuing what happens to the brain as the disease progresses, he encounters Una Vida, an aging jazz street singer lost in the labyrinth of Alzheimer's. As he gets to know her and the people around her, he discovers connection after connection with his life, his work, her friends and family that help to transform the experience into a life-giving one for him—and for us.
Beautifully written and insightful.
