A Curious Kind of Widow: Loving a Man with Advanced Alzheimer's Book

The second half of the saga of Julian Davidson - as he continues to decline in the throes of advanced Alzheimer's. The book is curiously uplifting, as the author manages to make peace with the loss of her husband by the end. However, especially early on it is almost painful to read - not because the writing is bad, but because of the intensity of the subject matter. Watching somebody lose themselves to Alzheimer's is hard, and this book does a good job of bringing you into that world.

The book is a bit repetitive at times, and in that way is slightly less well written than the first (Alzheimer's - a love story) but is again a good read for people who have a loved one with the disease.
