When philosopher John Bayley wrote a bestselling, critically acclaimed memoir of his wife, the great novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch, who had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for two years. At times unbearably moving, at times comical, this memoir provides a fitting memorial to Dame Iris. It is an enchanting portrait of a remarkable marriage and an inspiration for anyone whose life is affected by Alzheimers.
