Giveaway: Win a copy of The Carer eBook by Deborah Moggach

If you're a reguIar follower of me on social media you will probably have noticed that my reading mojo has been sadly AWOL during this current lockdown situation. Normally books and reading would be my escape mechanism to forgot about whatever is going on around me but sadly that has not been the case in recent weeks. In the 6 weeks of lockdown and 7 weeks of working from home, I have only managed to finish reading 1 book which was the one I reviewed yesterday (normally I would read 2 or 3 a week).

Today I was due to be hosting a review for The Carer, the latest book from author Deborah Moggach, but as mentioned previously I haven't managed much reading in recent weeks so sadly this one has been very much neglected in my TBR pile. However, I did start reading it last night and am enjoying what I've read so far.

James is getting on a bit and needs full-time help. So Phoebe and Robert, his middle-aged offspring, employ Mandy, who seems willing to take him off their hands. But as James regales his family with tales of Mandy's virtues, their shopping trips and the shared pleasure of their journeys to garden centres, Phoebe and Robert sense something is amiss.

Then something extraordinary happens which throws everything into new relief, changing all the stories of their childhood - and the father - that they thought they knew so well.
