This book is about love—absolute love that doesn’t grow weaker with the years, doesn’t depend on any circumstances: love between a son and his mother.
This book is about letting go. The main character, a young writer named Toma, is going through the hardest years of his life. His mother is ill; with each day, the cunning Alzheimer takes back new and new areas of her brain—forcing her to forget those who were dearer to her than anyone else, her children. The book is piercing, moving, and—at the same time—reconciling with life. At the moment when Toma will be in the most pain, he will receive confirmation that his mother remembered him and loved him—always.
