The Leisure Seeker: A Novel | Michael Zadoorian

Many thanks to @bthegood for passing this book along to me. A simple and poignant story of an 80 year old dying of cancer hitting the road with her husband who has dementia. The wit and snark of Ella was perfect and her care alongside her occasional anger toward her husband felt spot on. Being older myself I could empathize with her review of her life. Happy to pass this book along to anyone, as it too is a traveler.

bthegood so glad you enjoyed it - 🙂 It has traveled from @BkClubCare to @bthegood to @Suet624 to whoever is next 🌞 (edited) 7mo

This bittersweet story is about a couple in their 80s who go on one last roadtrip. Ella has cancer, and is tired of all of the doctors appointments, treatments, and medications. Her husband John has Alzheimers. Despite everyone telling them not to, they pack up their Leisure Seeker camper and drive what remains of Route 66, all the way to the end. While they travel, Ella thinks about life and the vacations they took over the years with their kids.

Perfectly written story about John (early onset dementia) and Ella (cancer) who have been married over 60 years. Ella decides they need to take one last trip in their camper -cross country, on route 66, to Disneyland. It's a story that reflects on life's purpose, loss and love.
I am passing this on to the first Litsy that responds - as @BkClubCare passed it on to me (thank you - loved this book) -

I read a lot of books that start with “The“ - may have to be more intentional on titles OR just carry the #AlphabeticalBingo ( @Clwojick ) into next year - ok - option 2 it is 😂!

Make a great day everyone 🍂

wanderinglynn Since “the”, “a”, and “an” are articles used to refer to a specific noun, I‘d ignore the article and look at the first noun after “the”. 😉 1y
