Description

A poignant and humorous novel about living, loving, and aging in America today. Lore Segal's Half the Kingdom explores the complexities of human relationships and the medical system through the lives of patients and doctors at Cedar's ER. As Alzheimer's cases surge, doctors begin to notice a disturbing trend: people who were once lucid suddenly show signs of advanced dementia. Amidst this uncertainty, Segal masterfully weaves together her characters' stories, revealing the tensions between frustration and tenderness in families and the broken medical system that can lead to desperation. With its unique blend of humor, tragedy, and insight into human nature, Half the Kingdom is a thought-provoking portrayal of life in America today.
