I LOVED this book. I had some awareness of Erica Jong's dementia from watching Molly Jong-Fast. I had no idea what she was going through with her husband. Such a challenging time with realistic ways of getting through it.
The stories of dealing with her mom were so relatable. Her challenges with a narcisstic mom so thoughtful. We are doing the best we can and she has done it. The details were so real, such as dealing with a parent that was once so stylish to one that now struggles to shower. Selling the book collection was such a strong detail. I think most of us have parents with very "important" collections that did not turn out as being so valuable. I read this in one weekend. I can't wait until it comes out and I can recommend it to others.
