 an insight into living with dementia September 9, 2010
Mrs. N. Millward
A very moving and touching story. It really shows how very frustrating and upsetting it is to care for a person with this illness.
The Best Book September 4, 2010

This was a really great read one of the best books I have read in a long while. I couldn't put it down every spare minute I picked it up to read. You can really sympathise with John.
I hope others will read this book and find comfort in it.

The book is more about John than Bonnie (it is full of self pity!) It is with sadness I read how love can turn to bitterness & anger because of this incomprehensible disease. I wondered as I read if Bonnie would have reacted in the same way had it been John who had been stuck with dementia - sadly we will never know. She was quite obviously a wonderful wife who encouraged her husband at every hands turn.

I found this book riveting. Could not leave it down until I had finished. My father in law suffered from dementia before he died. I just wish this book had been published before he died; I would have been so much wiser as how to deal with the various situations that arose.

I found John Suchet's account very moving and poignant. I bought the book (and a copy for my mother) because my father is suffering from Alzheimers and we are seeking as much moral support as can be found; this sad love story gave me everything I was looking for. Brave man to write it; but a very welcome read.
