Travellers to Unimaginable Lands: Dementia, Carers and the Hidden Workings of the Mind by Dasha Kiper (Omnibus)

Dasha Kiper blends science with lived experience to enhance our understanding of dementia with a collection of compassionate case studies.

Omnibus of five parts abridged by Christine Entwisle.

* Stories of dementia disorders that put both the person with dementia and the carer-giver at the centre.

* What happens when dementia causes a person to forget their spouse.

* What is the impact of exclusion and loneliness on caregivers who look after loved ones with delusions.

* An exploration of a loving relationship between a granddaughter and her grandmother and the fuzzy line between old behaviour and cognitive impairment.

* The impact of trauma on a mother and son and the hope that’s found in conversation.
