About this title

Synopsis

When the world you've known for nearly a century suddenly becomes a strange and frightening place that you can no longer make head or tail of, it's not just you who ends up a victim... Having been in control all of her life, as a matron, as an air-raid warden, and as the single mother of two children after her first husband was lost at sea and her second turned out to be a no-good scoundrel, Amy Robson finds her world crumbling in her 96th year as she succumbs to the ravaging effects of dementia. Can she keep enough of a grip on her increasingly fragile state of mind to maintain at least a degree of independence? And can her professional carers put up with her tetchy ways and assist her in staying on in her own home, against the wishes of her two children, Derek and Daphne? As for Derek and Daphne, none too young themselves, they find themselves caught up in their mother s ever-more paranoid and confused world, and in the end, it is not just Amy who is felled when the disease takes its final stranglehold
