"The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett" by Annie Lyons is a novel about an elderly woman and the decisions she makes in the final stage of her life. Instead of spending her remaining moments in solitude and misery, Eudora forms some unexpected relationships with a young girl and her family, as well as someone her age. The overall narrative unfolded pretty much how I expected with a few surprises along the way. I really liked the interweaving of Eudora's past with her present life. The story also shows that if we use love and kindness to tap at the shell of a seemingly difficult person, you might find someone warm and caring with a story to share underneath. I hope other readers enjoy this book as much as I did!
