A HEART-WRENCHING MEMOIR OF A MOTHER'S DESCENT INTO ILLNESS One of the
most acclaimed works of the year Washington Post Expert Pick for Best Memoir of
1999 In the summer of 1983, Annie Ernaux's mother fell ill. She had stopped
eating and drinking for several days and could no longer take care of herself.
Annie's hopes that taking her mother into her home would improve her health,
and return her to the dynamic and independent woman she once was, were sadly
dashed when her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Available in
paperback for the first time, this collection of relentlessly honest journal
entries traces the descent of Ernaux's mother into the depths of the disease
and reveals the author's own complex feelings of guilt and responsibility.
Profoundly self-revealing, this work provides readers with empathy and insight
into their own questions of loss and grieving.
