Retirement homes have been on my mind lately. I know people going into them, and I worked in one for many years. It was a pretty good job, really. But bad homes are pretty common, and it is very hard not to worry. Such is the theme for Cadigan's story. It's speculative fiction, but it could sure enough be real.
Caretakers is really well written. We have a complex personal relationship to add meat to the speculative theme. The protagonist has a younger sister she's never taken very seriously, for what look like pretty good reasons. And a mother in a nursing home. The little sister starts to suspect that the home is up to something. But the staff means well...do read it, this is quite good stuff. 3 stars. I can't believe I've never reviewed anything by her before, I know I've read some other stories, but there it is...
