Toronto: Viking Canada, 2000 "Uncorrected and unpublished proof" Irena F. Karafilly's memoir is a poignant account of how the person closest to us can become a total stranger. Nominated for a Drainie-Taylor Award, The Stranger in the Plumed Hat charts the progression of the author's elderly mother's affliction with Alzheimer's, documenting how the devastating neuro-degenerative disorder disrupts her memory, judgment, reasoning, and emotional stability. It also tackles the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's, and the inadequacy of current geriatric facilities to care for persons suffering from dementia. But this book is more than a portrait of illness. The Stranger in the Plumed Hat is also the story of a family of Jewish immigrants in Montreal. 238p. . ARC/Advance Reading Copy. Original Wraps.
