Книга "Сколько верблюдов в Голландии? Деменция, мама и я" - это искренний рассказ об отношениях между автором, Филидой Ло, и ее матерью, которая страдала деменцией. Филида была вдовой, воспитывала своих двух дочерей (актрис Эммы и Софи Томпсон) и сама работала успешной актрисой. Она ездила в Шотландию, чтобы проводить как можно больше времени со своей больной матерью. В течение этого периода Филида вела живой и откровенный дневник, в котором описывала многие грустные, но забавные примеры того, как ее мать теряла контакт с реальностью. В дневнике также присутствуют воспоминания автора о ее собственном детстве и трагической смерти ее единственного брата. Эта книга обещает быть такой же теплой и трогательной, как и первая книга Филиды, и будет красиво дополнена иллюстрациями автора.
Following Phyllida Law's wonderful and widely acclaimed 'Notes to My Mother-In-Law' - which comedically and lovingly documented the writer's relationship with their husband's mother, who spent 17 years living with the family - we now have an account of the author's connection with her mother, who was suffering from dementia. Having recently been widowed, having to raise her two young daughters (Emma and Sophie) herself as well as being a successful actor, Phyllida traveled often to Scotland to try and spend as many moments with her slowly deteriorating mother as possible. Throughout this period she wrote a lively, frank diary, recording many sad but still funny instances of her mother's loss of hold on reality. This journal includes memories of her childhood and her only sibling's tragic passing. This book shares just the same warmth and poignancy as her earlier work and is also expected to be beautifully enhanced thanks to the author's own illustrations.

Описание книги от Phyllida Law
Following Phyllida Law’s wonderful and acclaimed ‘Notes to my Mother-in-Law’ – which comically and tenderly documented the author’s relationship with her husband’s mother who lived with the family for 17 years – we now have a chronicle of Phyllida’s relationship with her own mother who suffered from dementia. Recently widowed, bringing up her own two daughters (actresses Emma and Sophie Thompson) and working as a successful actress herself, Phyllida went up and down to Scotland to spend as much time with her ailing mother as she could manage. During the period she kept a lively and frank journal noting many of the sad yet funny examples of her mother’s faltering grip on reality. The journal includes reminiscences of her own childhood and the tragic death of her only brother.This book promises to be just as warm and moving as her first and will also be beautifully enhanced by the author’s illustrations.
