«Las amapolas del olvido» is the real-life account by Andrea Gillies, published by Booket in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Andrea Gillies, a British journalist, gave up everything to care for her mother-in-law Nancy, who had early-stage Alzheimer's, in an old house in the north of Scotland. The book recounts her daily life as a caregiver in a novelized diary, with comic and tragic moments and reflections on identity, memory and how the mind works.
Originally written in English, it has been translated into Spanish by Atalaire. It was published in 2012 in Booket's «Biografías y Memorias» collection.
For readers interested in real-life accounts of Alzheimer's and the experience of caring for a family member.
