Powerful memoir of love and memory
A daughter pieces together her father’s wartime history while his own memories fade away through dementia.
Keggie Carew has produced an usual book that is part military history and part journey of discovery into her father’s life and the challenges of caring for someone with dementia. This makes the book far more personal and human as Keggie struggles with her father’s behaviour whilst learning of his adventures as a member of the Special Operations Executive in German-occupied France then in Japanese-held Burma during the Second World War.
It’s powerful and at times comical stuff, whilst very moving as her love for her father shines through all her challenges and discoveries.
A fascinating dual narrative true story that will remain with you for some time.
