Ptolemy Grey is a 91-year-old man, suffering from dementia and living as a recluse in his Los Angeles apartment. Then Robyn Small, a 17-year-old family friend, appears and helps clean up his apartment and straighten out his life. A reinvigorated Ptolemy volunteers for an experimental medical program that restores his mind, and he uses his last days -- shortened now by the medical experiment -- to delve into the mystery of the recent drive-by shooting death of his great-nephew, Reggie.

What a gem! submitted by 21621031390949 on June 22, 2021, 8:04pm Wow, what a wonderful book. A bit fantastical, but very beautiful and true. This is the first I’ve read by Walter Mosley, but it won’t be my last. Many little gems of wisdom about life and aging in this story. Thank you to whoever recommended it to me!
