By Its Cover


Here, finally, is the cover of my book, Alzheimer's: a love story.

I think it's beautiful. It's soft and dream-like and quite striking. The designer has captured visually my mother gradually losing her language and her hold on the world. The design conjures up for me an image of a ship on mysterious and treacherous seas where there are hidden rocks and other unforeseen dangers.

Today I finished the last of the editing. Now the manuscript can go to typesetting, so when I see the book next it will be to proofread. All very exciting. It's in the Scribe catalogue now too.
