Features: When Bayley met Alice, a profound love epic was played. One is the world-renowned "golden brain," a famous British philosopher, novelist, and "Booker Prize" winner; the other is a classical literature professor with deep erudition, a literary critic, a novelist, and the chairman of the "Booker Prize" committee. Two outstanding souls coexist calmly, maintaining composed independence while continuing to elevate themselves through mutual exchange. Bayley writes about their love sometimes solemnly, sometimes humorously, sometimes jealous, and sometimes childlike. Even when discussing Alice's romantic affairs, there is tolerance beyond severity. After Alice suffers from Alzheimer's disease, there is no longer dialogue between the couple. Supported by the sweet memories of love, Bayley accompanies his wife on her journey into the dark solitude.
