	A colleague at work lent this to me last week, said she liked it.  The Island refers to *Toronto* Island! 
 
 
	The characters are a woman with early onset alzheimer's, her adult kids, and their adventures, and dealing with things.  Nice descriptions of the area (I learned a lot, not being from Ontario). I liked the story, and the way it was written from 3 of the character's perspectives. Explores family dynamics and hurts and forgiveness of imperfections.  Overall uplifting and an easy pleasant read.
