‘Hilarious, bitter, poignant and profound, this is the human
condition laid brilliantly bare, like an existential soap opera –
only with more laughs.‘ - Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan It
was the kind of phone call we all dread. Your elderly father has
been admitted to hospital. He’s not well and he needs your help.
Your mum is about to be left at home alone. She needs you too. The
answer? Simple. Drop everything. Go. Just be there. Just help. The
reality? Not so straightforward. Suddenly, you’re a kid again,
stranded in the overheated house you grew up in. They need you
24/7, that much is obvious. And you want to help, of course you do.
But soon your life starts to unravel almost as quickly as their
health. In between bouts of washing, feeding, cooking and fighting
there are days that test you, days where everything goes wrong and
days where everyone, miraculously rises to the occasion. And in
between all of that, you learn how to care. But this time with
feeling. Irresistibly funny, unflinching and deeply moving, this is
a love letter to family and friends, to carers and to anyone who
has ever packed a small bag intent on staying for just a few days.
This is a true story of what it really means to be a carer, and of
the ties that bind even tighter when you least expect it. This is
The Reluctant Carer.
