Paws In The Proceedings di Deric Longden
An amusing autobiography that is not so much about cats (though they do feature a lot$ but more about the loving and caring relationship between an older and hapless husband with his talented and blind wife. One of the best funny books on disability I've read. I am disabled so I can judge these things.
The sequel to Diana's Story. Deric moves in with a new partner, Aileen, writes a book about Diana's life, and watches his mother grow old and die. Longden blends tragedy and comedy well, and is frank with himself - he knows moving in with his mother is one option, but after years of caring for his first wife and his mother saying she wants to be in a home, they go down that route instead. It is heartbreaking to watch someone so enthusiastic and eccentric fade away as her stroke takes her speech away from her.… (altro)
Deric Longden, the radio broadcaster, tells the story of his wife's illness and eventually death with M.E.. This book is both sad and funny, and really shows the warm love between them.
An author who quite captures the spirit of being a cat.
