1. Frangipani House by Beryl Gilroy
The novel centers around an elderly woman who, after a life of hard work and raising children, finds herself reluctantly placed in a nursing home by her daughter. The narrative explores the protagonist's struggle with the loss of independence and the cold, impersonal treatment she receives in the institution. Her longing for freedom and connection with her family and cultural roots leads her to escape the nursing home, embarking on a journey that reflects on themes of aging, autonomy, and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships. Through her experiences, the book delves into the broader social issues surrounding the care of the elderly in contemporary society.
