Helt fantastisk roman om en dement kvinnas liv och tankar. Skrämmande och fascinerande på samma gång. Den känsla som stannar kvar är vemod och ömhet.

Vilken historia, så sorglig, ett livslångt trauma för berättaren o hennes familj o den visar tydligt hur tillvaron ter sig för en person med demenssjukdom samt dennes närstående. Närminnet är nästan på noll, men det förflutna är ständigt närvarande.
