Harry and I went to a filmed version of the Broadway play version of Driving Miss Daisy with Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones. It was well-done and thought-provoking.
Maybe because we have older parents to care for.
Or maybe because we are getting older!
In the same vein, this novel, which I read a review of in Real Simple magazine, tells the rather compelling story of a man with Alzheimer's who realizes what is happening, but who wants to get one last thing done before his mind is completely out of his control.
Often I "skim" books so that I just get the story line. When the description is so vivid and complete that you can't skip it, I usually find that the book is really excellent.
This is just such a book. Don't let the subject matter put you off - it's about families and the complexities there. And it is about love and the many faces it assumes.
And it is gripping!
