An Extra Pair Of Hands is my memoir, a story about finding myself, in middle age, a carer of three extraordinary older people living with my husband and I in our home in West Sussex: first, helping my heroic mother care for my father, who suffered with Parkinson’s; then, holding a watching brief for her as she negotiated life without him after nearly 60 years of marriage; finally, in these past few years, as a full-time ‘extra pair of hands’ for Granny Rosie.

I felt it was really important that we all start to speak up because social care needs to be sorted out.” He died, a few days shy of his 87th birthday, in his own bed in our house on the corner where three generations lived together.

Thus Mosse portrays the riches of reciprocal relations of care between one generation and the next, and is a helpful corrective to the negativity that sometimes burdens the subject.
