About This Novel
"I Can't Get Out of My Dark Night" is a diary of a visit during an illness and a meditation on aging, death and the relationship between mother and daughter. It chronicles Anne Ernault's ultimately futile attempts to help her mother recover from Alzheimer's disease, and the guilt, fear, frustration and reconciliation she felt during the caregiving process. "I can't get out of my dark night" were the last words written by the author's mother. In the moment when there was only "dark night", Ernault did not leave his mother with dementia and insisted on writing in pain. This book is the story of the author and his own mother, as well as the story of all daughters and mothers, as well as the story of people who are aging and dying.
