I read it 5 years ago. When I wanted to read it again yesterday, surprisingly, I forget the fact that I went through it just because I wanted to improve my English back then. It is such a beauuuuutiful story that it made me remember it as a real story-based novel/book, not a book published for English study purpose.

I read this book because I was looking forward a book which helps me with grammar and vocabulary, and I did a good choice.

It's a actual story about a woman who has alzheimer's disease and one of her daughters looks after her, so, finally, the book it's about old woman's family. Moreover, I like characters too.

The level of this book it's to people who prepare FCE or B2, and it's true because I read it without problems but I have found some pharsal verbs, useful vocabulary or expressions to study

Actually, this book went straigth to my heart, even i break down in tears more than once.
So useful for people who is preparing herself/hisself to pass First Certificate; it's easy understand it and you find out lots of nice vocabulary and phrasals verbs of this level.
