A Place for Everything
批評家のレビュー
"[A] vividly told and profoundly affecting memoir." (The Bookseller)
"I read A Place for Everything with my heart in my mouth, gripped by this howl of anguish about loving someone you cannot help. This is both a love story and a horror story; an unforgettable account of a daughter going into battle to try to save her mother and father, and the toll it took. Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell. This is a beautiful book and an important one." (Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister)
"The last decade of life is the new frontier for the diagnosis of autism - brought home to us in this captivating story." (Professor Tony Attwood, clinical psychologist)
あらすじ・解説
Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if her mum was ‘a little eccentric’. They knew to keep things clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started to get ‘a bit much for your mum’.
It’s only when her mother reaches her 70s and Anna has a family of her own that the cracks really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and cajoled her mother through her entire life is diagnosed with cancer, the whole world turns upside down.
This is a story of a life lived with undiagnosed Asperger's, about the person behind the disorder, those big unspoken family truths and what it means to care for our parents in their final years.
