"What do you do when your outspoken, passionate and quick-witted mother starts fading into a forgetful, fearful woman? In this powerful graphic memoir, Sarah Leavitt reveals how Alzheimer's disease transformed her mother Midge--and her family forever. In spare black-and-white drawings and clear, candid prose, Sarah shares her family's journey through a harrowing range of emotions--shock, denial, hope, anger, frustration--all the while learning to cope, and managing to find moments of happiness. Tangles confronts the complexity of Alzheimer's disease, and gradually opens a knot of moments, memories and dreams to reveal a bond between a mother and a daughter that will never come apart"--P.

I'm not sure what I can say about this. I know Sarah personally, and I'm embarrassed to say this is the first time I've read this book. However, I spied my mom's copy in her house, and now that my mom seems to be starting down the path to dementia, I felt compelled to pick it up. It is a heartbreaking story that echoes many similar themes in my own life and relationship with my mom. Sarah's memoir is an intimate portrait of Alzheimer's and what it does to the people who suffer from it, and everyone around them. Her story is frank and honest about the sadness and frustration that creeps in and overwhelms, even in a loving family. Thank you Sarah, for sharing your story. It scares and saddens me, but I'm grateful for it. ( )

This really hit home for me. With a bare drawing style, Leavitt really paints a beautiful picture of the journey through this disease. Some stages I recognized. Others I have packed away for the time I will experience it. I have already been treasuring the time I have with my mom, and I am relieved that we have already been freed of the caregiving aspects, but I know emotional journey all too well already. I cry for what is ahead. Hopefully not for a while. ( )

I'm not a real fan of the graphic novel. This was really well done though. A touching story with real insight and hope for others in the same shoes. ( )

Vancouver-based lesbian cartoonist, writer, and editor Sarah Leavitt’s graphic memoir Tangles: A Story about Alzheimer’s, My Mother, and Me is not for the faint of heart. It’s a powerful work, to be sure, but this power comes at quite a cost: Tangles is ultimately a heartbreaking and difficult read. At the same time though, it’s honest, beautiful, and important, perhaps because it’s so hard to read at times. If you’re looking for graphic narratives focused on queerness, Tangles isn’t that, although Leavitt’s sexuality does play a small part in the narrative. The memoir is, however, an impressively complex look at the issues that come with aging and ill parents, with a striking honesty and straightforwardness.

I’ll get what I liked least about the book out of the way first: the drawings. Maybe I’m spoiled by the density and complexity of Alison Bechdel’s two graphic memoirs or the lush colour and detail of the Y: The Last Man series, but I found Leavitt’s drawings sparse and unpolished. The people were little more than stick figures, and were roughly drawn...

"Combining simple illustrations with brutally honest narrative, Sarah shares the Leavitt family‚Äôs struggle with the symptoms, diagnosis, adapting and coping, and—inevitably—death.

With a mix of childhood memories, significant events, and introspective narrative, Sarah takes the reader through each stage of Midge’s disease. The writing is very powerful and the sparse illustration is emotionally expressive.

Tangles is not just a long and depressing story, but it certainly brought tears to my eyes more than once.
