"Chronic disease is an uninvited guest that moves into your home and then proceeds to act as if it's the host and you're the guest. 'I'll set the rules,' the intruder tells you, standing in front of the door with arms folded tightly. 'And please to remember, there is no room for reasonable now. There is only this is the way it is.'"

Julie and Ken Sobol have had a long, happy marriage and raised a well-adjusted family, all successful adults with their own children. They are writers, and have been writing partners, as well as life partners, for some forty years. When Ken gets Lewy Body Disease (LBD), they decide to co-write about their experiences. Julie will continue the narration on her own as Ken, eventually ravaged by the “fatal fog of Lewy Body Disease” becomes becomes unable to participate any longer. She shares her sadness, frustration, and tireless attempts to find the best care for Ken.

Intelligent, enlightening, and even humourous, Love and Forgetting is at its heart a love story. For me, the book was also educational: I confess I had not heard of Lewy Body Disease. Highly recommended.
