All thing's consoled : a daughter's story / Elizabeth Hay. by Hay, Elizabeth, 1951- McClelland & Stewart, 2018. Call #: 813.54 H412a Subjects Hay, Elizabeth, 1951- -- Family.   Authors, Canadian (English) -- 20th century -- Biography.   Adult children of aging parents -- Canada -- Biography.   Caregivers -- Canada -- Biography.   Dementia -- Patients -- Care.   Aging parents -- Care. ISBN:  9780771039737 (hc.) Description:  263 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Elizabeth Hay, one of Canada's most beloved novelists has written a poignant, complex, and hugely resonant memoir about the shift she experienced between being her parents' daughter to their guardian and caregiver. As the daughter takes charge, and the writer takes notes, her mother and father are like two legendary icebergs floating south. They melt into the ocean of partial, painful, inconsistent, and funny stories that a family makes over time. Hay's eloquent memoir distills these stories into basic truths about parents and children and their efforts of understanding. With her uncommon sharpness and wit, Elizabeth Hay offers her insights into the peculiarities of her family's dynamics--her parents' marriage, sibling rivalries, miscommunications that spur decades of resentment all matched by true and genuine love and devotion. Her parents are each startling characters in their own right--her mother is a true skinflint who would rather serve up wormy soup (twice) than throw away an ancient packet of "perfectly good" mix; her father is a proud and well-mannered man with a temper that can be explosive. When Icebergs Melt is a startlingly beautiful memoir that addresses the exquisite agony of family, the unstoppable force of dementia, and the inevitability of aging."--From publisher.
