Seller: Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Andrea Gillies made the decision to care for her mother-in-law, Nancy, an Alzheimer sufferer, full time. With her husband and three children, they moved to a large house on a remote peninsula in Northern Scotland - one large enough to house Nancy and her elderly husband Maurice. Keeper is the result of this time - a frank, moving and utterly gripping account of Alzheimer's and its impact on one family, and explores the trials and dilemmas faced by the carer, when patience and obligations are pushed to the limits . But more than this, Keeper becomes a meditation on the nature of consciousness and indeed the self, as Gillies grapples with an increasingly unknown and unknowable character.
