For years Mamie Künstler, ninety-three-years-old, as clever and glamorous as ever, has lived happily in her bungalow in Venice, California, with her inscrutable housekeeper and her gigantic St. Bernard dog. Their tranquility is upended when Mamie’s grandson, Julian, arrives from New York City. Like many a twenty-something, he has come to seek his fortune in Hollywood. But it is 2020, the global pandemic sweeps in, and Julian’s short visit suddenly has no end in sight.

Finished this pretty quickly. I enjoyed the book but it might be because I have family that lived in West LA during the post war period and who knew the kids of some of the musicians mentioned. The stories of the thriving emigre population and the guilt and shame associated with having the opportunity to escape the “final solution,” rang true. I don’t think I could have managed a more intense story of that period. As for the contemporary period, I also didn’t need a rehashing of how horrific the early pandemic period was. I enjoyed the book and the narrator.
