Description
Dana, a solitary woman from Eastern Europe, dies in a New Zealand nursing home, leaving behind a trove of notebooks and a trail of memories. The nurse who discovers them is drawn into Dana’s life, the tragedy at the heart of it and Dana’s quest to make her world right again. As the nurse reads, she navigates through profound sorrow and complex emotions, experiencing both the strangeness and allure of the woman’s memoir-like writings.
Daniela Dragas’s lyrical prose imbues Dana’s story with philosophical insight, creating a rich tapestry of reflection and wonder. The narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the fluid boundaries between past and future, inviting readers to ponder their own place in a diverse world.
Visitations offers a captivating and thought-provoking journey, engaging readers with its storytelling and deep introspection. It will linger in your mind, challenging and inspiring you long after the final page.

it somehow felt at time like i was the one who had found the ladies story not the nurse. it felt like i was right there with the pages reading, feeling raw, feeling sad. it was so full of a persons whole self. it didnt shy away from those parts we often dont voice, or cant. it doesnt shy away from things that will give you big reactions and bi feelings. but its never too much. and at times felt bad that i was enjoying it. but it was just so true. so honest. so open its writing and the writing, well wow it was beautiful.
this book is unlike others i have read. and for that i cant really describe it with my usual go to's. but thats a good thing. only a good thing. i wish i could do a search for "books like this" and get others the same as it truly felt like a gift to read.
