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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hay, Elizabeth, $d 1951- $x Family. 600 17 $a Hay, Elizabeth, $d 1951- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01515853 650 0 $a Adult children of aging parents $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Aging parents $x Care. 650 0 $a Caregivers $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Dementia $x Care. $x Care. 650 0 $a Authors, Canadian $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 5 $a Authors, Canadian (English) $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a Adult children of aging parents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797237 650 7 $a Aging parents $x Care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800362 650 7 $a Authors, Canadian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821870 650 7 $a Caregivers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00847331 650 7 $a Dementia $x Care. $x Care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890058 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021011615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73618FFC462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
