Anthea Rowan Author. Journalist. Reader
“The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make one book.” — Samuel Johnson
'A beautiful blend of memoir and medical science journalism… This is a seriously impressive book'
Judges, The Rubery Book Award
Reserach shows that people with dementia often harness metaphor to communicate experiences in their desperate bids to remain engaged. They might substitute an unexpected word for the conventional, or invent words and phrases. There’s a surprising magic in the patois of the condition.
An extraordinary, furious, funny, love letter to a mother. Arundahati Roy won the Booker for her "God of Small Things". This will win her many more awards. Listen on Audible to her read her own story in mellifluous tones.
