First I must tell you that this was a very difficult book for me to read. At my age if I succumb to dementia, it will not be Early Onset. Furthermore, I have relatives who have/had this horrible disease.

Having said this, I am glad that I persevered and read this book. It gave me insight into what the patient experiences since the reader is able to see the workings of Anna's mind as she tries to cope with her new reality.

The structure of the story from several points of view and during different time period takes a bit of concentration at first, but it enables the reader to understand the characters and the reasons for their actions.

First and foremost, though, this is a wonderful love story.
