When a woman receives the diagnosis of an incurable illness at the age of 40 and her husband promises to stand by her through everything, it may seem like a given. However, when this illness not only weakens the beloved woman but also makes her disappear before his eyes like a pencil drawing under an eraser, it takes on a different dimension. Hans Jürgen Herber bravely and with disarming honesty recounts what it means to gradually lose his young wife and the mother of his son to Alzheimer’s. He describes a journey of relationships that may touch, but also irritate or even provoke. Perhaps it also encourages the search for unconventional solutions. A book that stays with you long after reading.
