In 2004 Rachel Hadas's husband, George Edwards, a composer and
professor of music at Columbia University, was diagnosed with
early-onset dementia at the age of sixty-one. Strange Relation is
her account of "losing" George. Her narrative begins when George's
illness can no longer be ignored, and ends in 2008 soon after his
move to a dementia facility (when, after thirty years of marriage,
she finds herself no longer living with her husband). Within the
cloudy confines of those difficult years, years when reading and
writing were an essential part of what kept her going, she "tried
to keep track...tried to tell the truth".
