{"product_id":"2940046542455","title":"Up the Creek Without a Tadpole","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe letters Gillian Griffith wrote to her elderly, demented mother were never intended to be read - they were simply Gillian’s way of dealing with her own anger and guilt towards her high-handed, infuriating and impossibly challenging mother. To Gillian’s own surprise, “as the words bounced back at me off the page, magic happened”. The letters began to morph into a book, and the writing of it gradually released Gillian from her mother’s influence. The result is a powerful, touching, uplifting and often very funny account of one woman’s emotional and practical battle with the chaos caused by dementia. This book (the title comes from a small piece of nonsense spoken by Gillian’s mother) brings a new insight into the effects of dementia on those caught up in it. It will make a valuable and original contribution to the debate on dementia care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mereo Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083691114736,"sku":"2940046542455","price":2.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046542455_p0.jpg?v=1764000416","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046542455","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
