Infos

A writing couple searches for answers when Alzheimer's causes one of them to lose the place where stories come from - memory.At the age of fifty-three, Tony walks away from a life of journalism and into an unknown future. June is forty-eight, a writer and teacher, and over the following decade watches as her husband changes in interests, goals, and behaviour until Tony has a fall, ending the life they had known. A diagnosis is seven years away, yet the signs of Alzheimer s are all around. A suitcase Tony packs for a trip is jammed with four umbrellas, a visual symbol of cognitive looping. But how far back do these signs go? The couple starts probing the past and finding answers. This is not an old person s disease.
