Today is my stop on the Random Things blog tour for The Everyday and Far Away by Jacqueline Jones.
Ernie is 77 years old and has a few great passions including his wife, family and his beloved motorbike. As Ernie struggles with a diagnosis of dementia and cannot remember recent events, his past seems as vivid to him like it was yesterday.
It is not only Ernie who is struggling, his seventeen year old granddaughter Nina is finding it hard to fit in at college and figure out what she really wants to do. It seems that Nina is destined to work with her mum at their greengrocers until she comes across a surprise which might just help her and Ernie.
A beautifully written book that covers the heartbreaking and devastating effects of dementia. I really like the way that the book moved between past and present, so that we get to see into the background of Ernie’s life.
Highly recommended and looking forward to reading more by this author.
