Beskrivning
A Silent Tsunami is a unique combination of memoir and medicine – Rowan forensically examines the development of her mother’s illness and explores dementia in a frank but illuminating, lyrical and moving way.Anthea Rowan writes about her mother’s struggles of living with Dementia, while interpreting the science that surrounds this devestating illness. Grounded in personal observation, she casts an unflinching eye on the realities of living with a mother who has forgotten her daughter and a determination that her children will not face the same. There is hope here, too.As a portrayal of the relationships we share with our mothers, an examinaion of their influences on us, as well as asking questions about how illness impacts lives, A Silent Tsunami is a powerful story of family, life, love and loss.

Recensioner i media

'The strength of this book lies in the way Anthea brings to life her personal story. It is, by turns, warm, reflective, angry, but always moving. Its uniqueness comes from the perfect balance between scientific context and the mother-daughter narrative – aided by her understanding of the frustration that we scientists feel at seeing what is possible but not being delivered.' Professor Craig Ritchie Founder and CEO Scottish Brain Sciences Professor of Brain Health and Neurodegenerative Medicine University of St Andrews
