In the Evening, We'll Dance: A Memoir in Essays on Love & Dementia

By Anne-Marie Erickson

Book Overview

How does a loving, committed marriage survive the effects of dementia?

In her deeply personal and daringly original memoir, Anne-Marie Erickson lays bare the onset and eventual passing of her husband from dementia. Her writing is multidimensional, poetic as it weaves together fragments of word origins, mythologies, and Biblical passages. Infused with the author's love and compassion, this compelling memoir pierces the mysteries of living and dying. Yes, it's much about her husband's tragic affliction, but it also moves beyond that to where we can gain invaluable lessons on how to love and endure in the face of a debilitating illness.
