| Summary | "Old Lady Number 31" by Louise Forsslund is a poignant novel set in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an elderly couple, Angeline and Abraham, who find themselves in a precarious financial situation leading them to auction off their possessions and take separate paths into assisted living facilities. This evokes themes of love, dignity, aging, and the societal perceptions of the elderly. The opening of the book introduces Angeline as she grapples with the loss of her belongings, reflecting on the significance of each item sold and the love she shares with her husband. Despite the heartache of their impending separation due to financial distress, Angeline's resolve shines through as she clings to a sense of pride and resourcefulness. The couple's interactions reveal their deep, enduring bond despite the hardships they face, setting the stage for a heartfelt exploration of their lives as they navigate the challenges of old age and societal expectations within the confines of their new homes.
