Folks on this list might want to look for a new novel by Lisa Ridzen called “When the Cranes Fly South.” Translated from the Swedish, it is a deeply moving depiction of an 80-something man living alone with his dog as his health weakens. His adult son worries and tries to cope. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read it, but it was poignant, honest, and so relevant. Here’s my Goodreads review - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7787860745
Highly recommended. Set in Sweden, so resources, the healthcare system, etc. are quite different (we should all be so lucky), but the emotions and challenges ring true.

That sounds like a wonderful book. Thank you for the recommendation!
