We Care For You
We Care For You | Paul Kitcatt
1 post | 1 read
Margaret Woodruff is slowly dying in a care home. When her son is presented with the chance of exceptional care in her final months, he finds the offer hard to resist. Winifred is assigned to Margaret’s care. She’s a Helper: a new kind of carer that’s capable, committed and completely tireless – because she’s a synthetic human being. Under Winifred’s care Margaret’s health improves beyond everyone’s expectations, and Winifred begins to learn from Margaret what it means to be alive. After all, she has a lifetime of experience to pass on – and in a world where youth is the ultimate prize, perhaps it takes a robot to recognise the value of old age. But how will Winifred use what she learns from Margaret – and what does she truly want from her?

We Care For You | Paul Kitcatt
Pickpick

One of my favorite books from last year. Loved it. We read this (my choice) for my store‘s main book club. Skyped with the author. This one takes place in a near future. So much to think about from an ethical perspective. A slow build-up to an ominous end. Almost everyone loved it. A great find that needs to be picked up by a big publisher in the US!
