When twenty-six elderly patients disappear from the Shaker Heights nursing home under mysterious circumstances, Lynore Beadsman does not yet know that this is the first event in a whole series of incredible and strange incidents that will soon shake her life. Among the missing was her great-grandmother, who once knew the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and spent her entire life trying to convey to her great-granddaughter one difficult truth: her world is unreal. But finding a relative is only one of the problems. Psychotherapist Linor behaves more and more frighteningly with each session, her parrot suddenly gains the gift of incredible talkativeness, and soon television fame, a local tycoon intends to devour the whole world, a real mess is going on at work, and relations with the boss seem to have reached a dead end. And all this is the beginning of a paradoxical journey that can lead the heroine to true freedom, if only Linor gets out of the web of circumstances reminiscent of a real conspiracy. The book contains obscene language.
