Description - Alzheimer's: A Love Story by Vivienne Ulman

When the last of Vivienne Ulman's four children left home, she and her husband were poised to enjoy their freedom. Then, her mother's Alzheimer's intervened. In Alzheimer's; A Love Story, Ulman records with tender lyricism and searing honesty the progress of her mother's Alzheimer's, her own grief over the gradual loss of her beloved mother, and the way in which her parents' enduring love for each other sustained them. Into this she weaves an account of her family's history, in particular her father's rise from farm boy to confidant of prime ministers - achievements made possible by the loving strength of the woman by his side. In a reversal of roles, he amply returned this support. This inspiring Australian story is a tale for the sandwich generation, squeezed on one side by concerns for their children and on the other by anxiety about their parents.
