Publisher's Synopsis
Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is a physical illness that destroys the mind and memory. It can affect anyone, male or female, and is not restricted to the elderly. Along with the other, rarer forms of dementia, Alzheimer's affects about three quarters of a million people in the United Kingdom alone, and it is estimated that there will be 42 new cases of dementia every day as the average age of the population increases.;Eventful, and not without humour, this account of the reality of caring for a woman affected by Alzheimer's disease is by her primary carer and based on diaries written to help alleviate the intense pressure of caring for someone with this destructive illness.
