To anyone who has read the torrent of books from Deric Longden about his his home filled with wilful cats and ruled over by his brilliant fellow author wife who just happens to be blind will know that this man can write about things that should be tragic yet imbue them instead with warmth and dry humour.This is the story of how two women manipulate poor Deric, in a good way, through what could easily have been a heartbreaking situation.It speaks volumes for his ability as a writer that, by focusing on the courage, wit and affection of two strong women who love him he can portray this often sad story and still make us smile as he does so. Some of the scenes with his mother are brilliant comedy.A wonderful grown up true story about wonderful grown up people.
