Synopsis:
Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov is a masterfully crafted novel that explores memory, nostalgia, and the human condition through a unique and thought-provoking premise. The story revolves around a mysterious clinic that offers an extraordinary form of therapy: each floor is designed to recreate a specific decade from the 20th century, immersing patients suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia in familiar environments from their pasts.
As the clinic gains popularity, it inadvertently attracts individuals who aren’t patients but are desperate to escape the pressures of modern life. Through its exploration of personal and collective memory, Gospodinov weaves a poignant and satirical narrative that delves into the ways history, identity, and nostalgia shape our understanding of time and reality.
