'A beautifully written book...Essential reading' John Humphrys
'Carol Lee is a courageous writer. This book is both tender and
tough-minded in its record of one woman's day by day journey
through a universal experience' Maggie Gee In a candid portrayal of
the last years of her parents' lives, Carol Lee confronts the sense
of loss - and longing - at the heart of her family, and perhaps all
families. They have often lived separately - in the UK, Africa,
Egypt and the Middle East, her father's sudden illness and her
mother's gradual memory loss bringing them together. Returning with
her brother as adult 'children' - roles and boundaries between all
of them changed - guilt and anger play their part in the two and a
half years which follow. But Carol finds delight, too, in stories
of her mother practising tango in the tiny kitchen of her childhood
home, and she is humbled by her father's courage. Snowbound
winters, beach walks in Wales and African times are captured in
this account of the turmoil of long-distance care. Along the road
back to a parent's house, matters of memory, identity, grief - and
renewal - are woven through four people's lives to reveal a rich
legacy from the past.
