This is a strange, emotional book. It is a story of pain, the pain of seeing one's mother depart from humanity, into the vicious grip of Alzheimer. I don't think I've ever read something so endearing and disturbing at the same time.
There are many things I liked about this book, the faithfull depiction of feelings - a mother's love, a son's love and devotion, sadness, misery.
Thinking back, I think that maybe, even the pages that I felt too repetitive, too annoying to read through, were just meant to accurately paint the whole picture of human life ending.

تتبدا في هذه الرواية/السيرة أرقى أنواع الحب وأخلصها. ألم الكتاب موجع للقارئ وذلك لصدقه ولصدق تجسيده عجز الأبناء في صد المحتوم عن أغلى من في الكون. كتاب ممتع وحزين خاصة لمن له تجربة مماثلة
