When time is running out, every moment is precious. The Diary of a Life Lost in Memory is the story of Claire, a beloved teacher recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. She is a woman with a strong personality who experiences moments of clarity and utter confusion, which greatly impacts her family's life. Whenever she is lucid, Claire records passages from her life in a diary given to her by her husband, Greg, which contains the most important things, such as the birth of her daughters, the day she met her husband, the death of her father, and so on. The most touching part of the work is when the protagonist, in her various moments of reverie, meets a mysterious man with whom she falls in love despite feeling extremely guilty about having an exceptional husband and a family who loves her. And that's when a moving twist occurs. The Diary of a Life Lost in Memory is a captivating, exceptional, and sweet work that avoids the melodrama. We can simultaneously love and be enraged by the protagonist for making so many mistakes, which sometimes makes us forget that she actually has Alzheimer's and is just acting as if nothing is wrong.
