Three Voices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917601177)

Dementia is currently the biggest killer in the UK. Its tentacles strike deep into the heart of families, its destruction far greater than just the life that is lost.

Three Voices tells the story of three generations of one family caught in the grip of the eldest's disease. Their struggle is told with honesty and humour from the perspective of the youngest child, the mother in the middle and the grandma who's losing herself.

Women everywhere will identify with Katie's battle to balance the demands of motherhood, career and marriage, while being taken over by the need to care for an ailing parent.

It raises questions of how society provides for the most vulnerable among us; not just the elderly, but the children who can be lost, as we adults grapple with the demand and pace of modern life.

It is a novel to make you think.
