Good for those new to caring and old hands on the brink of burnout but should be required reading for employers, people in caring and medical professions and policy-makers in government.

Although it's fairly expansive, covering all manner of subjects in relation to being a carer and the issues they face, at times it's long winded and repetitive, tending to focus more on carer's looking after those with physical problems rather than mental health ones, though they are touched upon.

I liked the unique approach to the carer (the pig) and the caree (the piglet) and the quirky illustrations alongside the information and advice given from an actual carer, the author, someone who knew what they were talking about.

This is the book for you if , like me, you suddenly realise that you have drifted into being a fulltime 'informal' carer. written in an easily accessible style it reminds that you are not alone and that everyone in this position feels the same way and points you in the direction of things to do, stuff that will help and things that do not.
reccommended.
