Another fantastic review for this heartwarming & brilliant book by our writer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I felt awful laughing at this, but I couldn't stop...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2022
Part stream of consciousness, part confessional, with double measures of mirth at every opportunity, this extraordinary memoir is sure to resonate with anyone caring for an elderly relative – willingly, or otherwise. Fiona finds humour in the minutiae of everyday life and its inherent frustrations. She has a wonderful way with words and succeeds in transporting readers to the very heart of exasperating situations; the kind faced daily while navigating (literally) her feisty mother through the travails of old age. If you enjoy wry observational humour, mocking the afflicted, and tips on surviving your mother while she’s still drawing breath, this is for you. In fact, for anyone who finds themselves driven to gin while caring for a relative, this laugh out loud read is just the tonic.

Lovely testimonial from Jessica...

I have worked with Charlotte on three books now and as always, I am exceedingly happy with the end result. Charlotte is very knowledgeable and professional, and my books always look and feel great. I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte to anyway wanting to create a wonderful book out of all their work – seeing it come to life is a great feeling. Thanks Charlotte.
