Critics Review

‘A tender portrait of old age and the slippages of memory.’ Amanda Lohrey‘Lyrical and beautifully conceived. A sensitive and heartbreaking insight into the devastating impact of dementia on the sufferers and those who care for them.’ Michael Brissenden‘An insightful and deeply compassionate story’. - Good Reading‘It is one of the most powerful novels I have read in years’. - The Weekend Australian ‘Wilson’s writing is lucid and often extremely beautiful in its precision … The real achievement of Wilson’s novel is its desire to give shape to the experience of dementia, and what it must be like to try to hold on to one’s sense of self as it slips away’. - The Saturday Paper ‘This book is a valuable, eye-opening contribution to the literature of dementia’. - The Guardian ‘While Wilson is unflinching on dementia’s daily realities, this is a balanced, philosophical portrayal, sensitively handled’. - The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald‘Poetic and thought-provoking.’ * The Australian Women’s Weekly *
