This book is quite short and resumes from each letter of the alphabet the description of the author's father and his disease. In terms of form, it is quite difficult to read, relatively complex; moreover, the author often tells rather than focuses on the suffering of his father. That said, some passages are touching, but the author insists too much on the gap between mental deterioration of the patient and his intelligence and important social role. As for the adventure lived with "a man much older than her," it's only incredible.
