Description
Where Memories Go is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of one woman's experience with dementia, written by her daughter, Sally Magnusson. The book chronicles the author's eight-year journey with her mother, who suffered from the disease, and explores the social, medical, economic, scientific, philosophical and moral challenges it poses.
Regarded as one of the finest journalists of her generation, Mamie Baird Magnusson's life was marked by a love of words, which she fought to retain in the face of a disease that is increasingly affecting people in their 21st century. This book offers a unique insight into the experiences of those affected by dementia, and challenges us to think differently about how we care for our loved ones.
With honesty, humour and compassion, Sally Magnusson shares her mother's story, and asks penetrating questions about how we treat older people, and what it means to be human. A moving and thought-provoking read, Where Memories Go is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding this complex and often misunderstood condition.
