This may be because no-one has been foolhardy enough to attempt one! And it is true that this is a story in mid-flow, even perhaps still near the beginning. But the subject is so complex, and surrounded with so many misconceptions that, even in a truncated form, it needs to be told.John Killick has chosen a simple but effective format.

If your life is at all touched by dementia, you should be reading it.
