Wonders in Dementialand

An Artist's Intimate and Whimsical Account of Dementia, Memory Loss, Caregiving and Dancing Gypsies

De: Suzka .

Narrado por: Suzka

Wonders in Dementialand™ is an imaginative account about dementia written by a painter, who sees life quite differently than most people. It is profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive.

Violet is an independent, godly-catholic woman living in Chicago. Suzka, her daughter, is a painter living in a converted warehouse in California. Suzka is the last person one would think to be a caregiver, however, during a family crisis, she is suddenly left in charge of Violet’s welfare.

Suzka leaves California and moves to Chicago and into Dementialand. These two very different women are about to take you on a journey of extraordinary discoveries. It’s funny, sad and touching at the same time giving the listener a glimpse into the life of dementia through unexpected lenses as a mother and daughter engage in growing out of their "selves".

This uplifting story puts you directly inside the interesting (and likable) mind of Suzka as it comes to terms with memory, identity, and dementia. The listener is provided with an imaginative look into the colorful possibilities inside dementia.

Easy to listen

I actually was given the book and chose to listen to the audio - since I do not always make enough time - this is my second audio book I have ever listened (first was Joan Crawford’s audio from the 70’s lol) - I enjoyed it and found it nice to hear different voices- as I usually do the voices in head whilst reading -
