MY BONNIE: How dementia stole the love of my life

Product Information

The author has tremendous literary sensibility, nimble comic gifts and an over-developed capacity for self-criticism. In retrospect, she recognises the doomed absurdity of moving her extended family to a remote Scottish peninsula in pursuit of a Wordsworthian sublime (dependent on solitude) while attempting to care for Nancy – her violently dependent mother-in-law – and Morris, her depressed father-in-law. She also attempts to run a B&B. "She's quite a character, isn't she?" observes an Australian guest as Nancy streaks through the house naked except for a pair of over-large lilac briefs.

Earlier this year John Suchet revealed that his beautiful 67-year-old wife Bonnie, the love of his life, is suffering from Dementia. During the past three years he has gone from lover to carer. And he has found that exceptionally tough. In this moving, and bitterly honest account, the newsreader reveals his loneliness and his despair. His publisher suggested he write the book as a "love story" and this was a canny idea: love leavens misery and secures a small triumph – a refusal to allow dementia to have the last word or to erase a happy marriage. Romantic reminiscences (honeymoons, anniversaries, holidays in a beloved house in France) are intercut with a desolate present.
