Description
A poignant and humorous novel about the challenges of old age, At the Jerusalem by Paul Bailey tells the story of Mrs Gadny's struggles to find acceptance in her new life with her stepson and his family.
After the death of her daughter, Mrs Gadny is forced to confront a harsh reality: institutional kindness cannot cushion the tragedy of old age. She finds little comfort in the unkindness of those around her, including her stepson's selfish wife and their ungrateful children.
The novel follows Mrs Gadny's descent into despair as she withdraws from the world and clings to her memories. With its nuanced portrayal of conversation and atmosphere, At the Jerusalem is a powerful exploration of the human experience, one that will linger in the reader's mind long after finishing the book.
