Query: A novel for the younger reader

I have reached the age where novels about age and dementia are no longer amusing nor entertaining. I found this novel dreary but I persevered to complete it because the novel had won an award and I wanted to find out the reason. I never discovered how it was that this novel won an award. It seemed as though the author was indulging in pleasant little daydreams of her own. The characters were scatty and that includes those who worked at the nursing home as well as the patients. The visitors of the patients were particularly nasty. After reading this novel I will NEVER go to a nursing home not even for a tiny bit of respite because now I Know what happens to those who enter its portals.
