Unquiet

I was surprised by how much Ullmann's portrayal of her father's last months affected me. In the patterns of his reasoning and speech I was reminded of my grandfather and my wife's grandfather at the same period in their lives. In fact, my grandfather was born the same year as Ullmann's father and died almost exactly two years after him. But because my grandfather rarely spoke to me and Ullmann's father was a public figure, unfortunately I know more about the latter than the former.
