John, Dementia and Me

Rosemary Westwell

This is a novel centered on the true story of John’s character, our relationship, his gradual decline and my feelings and reactions.


‘John Dementia and Me’ a novel based on the true story of my husband’s gradual decline into dementia. I describe how we both struggle to come to terms with the changes in him, the emotional upheaval it causes and the coping mechanisms I develop. While I have tried to represent our relationship and the local Fen environment as accurately as possible, the remaining family and John’s mystery background are fictional. This book should appeal to a wide audience: those who are dealing with the same difficulties and for anyone looking for a ‘good read’ that offers insight into one of the most prevalent problems of today.

Brilliant writing! From the first impact of your introduction I was fully engrossed. You should go far! view book

An interesting story. I glanced at the first chapter and the scene is well set. Her relationship with the deceased very strongly portrayed. I wonder if some to the language could be 'tightened'? e.g. 'having come in to catch up on some work' - is this really necessary? (but who am I to comment!?)... view book

You write very well - I'm envious. The way you introduce your book with fixation on a particular car is a great idea and I also like the way you carefully lead us into the story and make us curious about what it is all about. view book
