Before this book, I'd always seen Alzheimer as disease which only attach the elder. Bt I'm wrong. Alice had everything, amazing career, family, and kids. with the exception of Lydia. She is the black sheep of the family. Not really the black sheep to be honest, she is just different from The Howland family. Everything changed when Alice started forgetting a few things like a word and where she put her things. And she became curious about it, and when she forgot how to get home. It's very sad part, I could feel Alice emotion. The book it self is a very breathtaking, how Alice's family deal with it. Her husband chose to avoid it it and he still wanted to everything he would do. Her kids the oldest wanted to treat Alice as if she was the fragile thing. Same as the boy. But the most interesting kid is the younger one, Lydia. Alice and Lydia never got along before, but it surprised me that Lydia was the one who cared that much about Alice. She had the patience, she treated Alice like usual, but with more loves. She was mad at her mother when her mother invaded her privacy, she let her mpother did what her mother needed without complains. She did everything for Alice, she didn't want to go to college before, but she chose to do it. I don't know if it was her decision or she did it for Alice. And her husband was kinda jerk. I don't know, maybe he had his own issues and didn't want to watch his loving wife teared apart in front of him.
