 The book is a series of stories which build into a compelling whole: stories which shine a light on Shirley, but also on Kemp and his ways of handling the situation.  I thought that it would be a book which I would have to work at, but it definitely wasn't - in fact I read it in two sittings and (if it doesn't sound too unkind to say so) with a great deal of enjoyment.  I'd like to thank the publisher for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
-If you are looking for information ''about'' dementia then we can recommend [[Dementia: The One-Stop Guide: Practical advice for families, professionals, and people living with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease by June Andrews]] .  For a fictional look at the subject you'll undoubtedly enjoy [[Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey]].  Both books will shelve happily alongside ''Caring for Shirley''.
