Told from the perspective of Maud, an elderly lady who we realise quickly is the ultimate "unreliable narrator" in that she has dementia. Friendship, dementia, dignity, carer stress, pragmatic soliutions all feature as well as this being a brilliant sort of a "whodunnit" (no spoilers in the episode we promise!Rachel recommended Graham Allcott's The Productivity Ninja https://www.grahamallcott.com/books/productivity-ninja)and we also mentioned * Being Mortal * by Atul Gawande https://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/)
