An invisible army of carers holding families together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere, Kate Mosse tells her personal story of finding herself as a carer in middle age: first, helping her mother look after her beloved father through Parkinson's, then supporting her mother in widowhood, and finally as 'an extra pair of hands' for her 90-year-old mother-in-law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a story about the gentle heroism of our carers, about small everyday acts of tenderness, and finding joy in times of crisis. It's about juggling priorities, mind-numbing repetition, about guilt and powerlessness, about grief, and the solace of nature when we're exhausted or at a loss. It is also about celebrating older people, about learning to live differently – and think differently about ageing. But most of all, it's a story about love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44427935351020,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8930\/2764\/files\/AEPOH-KM-01.jpg?v=1728292983","url":"https:\/\/bookbubble.co.uk\/products\/an-extra-pair-of-hands-kate-mosse","provider":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
