AnnotationMore than 600,000 people in Italy suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of whom was Francesco Caracciolo, the author's husband. This is the author's personal account of her experience of caring for her husband. She recounts the progression of the disease, and the special relationship that developed between carer and patient. She also offers strategies for coping with a mental illness, and not losing sight of the partner's personality. (RH).
