Stephanie Kallos' Broken for You
This novel was recommended by a fellow librarian whose tastes I trust implicitly, and it did not disappoint. The story centers on a 70-something woman who discovers she has a brain tumor; deciding to change her life completely, she ends up taking in all sorts of metaphorical waifs and strays, particularly one damaged stage manager named Wanda. Kallos does an excellent job of weaving all her narrative strands together, and though the ending was perhaps a little bit too neat, I really liked it. A.
