Something on my mind: Kate Jowell, a battle with Alzheimer's by Sharon Sorour-Morris (Oshun)
As the head of UCT's Graduate School of Business, Kate Jowell was one of South Africa's leading academics and business leaders. But within a few years, she began to feel the insidious creep of the disease which would eventually steal away the life she knew.
In every careful cadence of this well-researched biography, Sharon Sorour-Morris reveals many fascinating insights into this private woman and her life as a wife, mother and high achiever.
Sad and fascinating, Something on my mind creates a striking portrait of this memorable South African, set within the volatile political and social content of the 1980s and 90s.
As much as it is a celebration of a woman breaking boundaries and opening doors for others to follow, it is also the tragic story of the slow deterioration of a once brilliant mind.
