The Swimmers

This book is beautifully written. Even so, the first half of the book had me wondering if I had picked up the correct book to listen to. I'm happy to say it all connects in the end. The second half of the book is where I found the rhythm and heart of the book. There is a lot to learn about how to interact with a person going through dementia. 

This book of written in second person. That bugged me a bit at first, but I got over that as the story progresses to where I think the second person view is more powerful. 

I think this book is a good introduction to living with a person with dementia. That being said, all people are different. This is one experience, not how they will all go. Still, the author shows how family can support their loved ones in this and how it's okay to have different feelings and perspectives on this reality than others in the family.
