Critics Review
-
The world could do with more Wendy Mitchells … This is a book from which we can all learn
Sunday Times -
With humour, truth and grace, this book [gives] a unique insight into what it’s like to live with Alzheimer’s
Spectator -
Remarkable … Mitchell gives such clear-eyed insight that anyone who knows a person living with dementia should read this book
The Times -
A landmark book
Financial Times -
Revelatory
Guardian -
Usually the experience of someone living with dementia is lost; known only partially even to their loved ones. The miracle of this work is that it managed to capture the experience, and hold it up for the rest of us to see
