The first time Grant goes to visit her, Fiona doesn't recognize him and she treats him as if he is a new resident himself. The nursing home typically might be about the loneliness and isolation that a new resident experiences, but Munro shows Fiona focuses instead on the loneliness and isolation of her husband. It's an isolation that is made worse by
