[HarrietD]

This month, Living with Dementia magazine's book group is focusing on Dancing with dementia by Christine Bryden. If you've read it or are planning to, we'd love to know what you think.

Here's a quick summary:

Christine Bryden was a top civil servant and single mother of three children when she was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 46. Since then she has gone on to challenge almost every stereotype of people with dementia by campaigning for self-advocacy, writing articles and speaking at national conferences.

This book is a vivid account of the author's experiences of living with dementia, exploring the effects of memory problems, loss of independence, difficulties in communication and the exhaustion of coping with simple tasks.
