Tangled in all of this is the thing I’ve know all the time but not wanted to speak: your murdering me is a real possibility." John Roberts remembers that one of the signalmen was Mr Curtis, a tall man with white, wavy hair. A few minutes before the train arrived, he would cross from the signal box and stand on the platform with the staff under his arm. He was also prominent in the work of St John's Ambulance. I can't honestly say that I enjoyed this book. It was difficult to read. Both the content and style of writing contributed. Firstly, much of the story was told in the second person. In my experience, this narrative perspective is seldom used and I have found it to be jarring and voyeuristic. When Lavinia Williams' Taid, Mr Glyn Griffiths (pictured left), was a prisoner in World War II, he was held at Stalag 4B in Leipzig, Germany. I seriously could not put this book down. It's a long book but I finished it in a day. Some books grab you and don't let go. THE BOOK OF YOU is one of those books. Not only is this an iron-tight thriller with some truly phenomenal pacing and character building, it has some on-point social commentary on victims - the ones on pedestals, the ones who don't fit our idea of what a victim should look like and act like; the sometimes unfortunate ineffectiveness of law enforcement in handling harassment and abuse; the isolation and helplessness that comes from experiencing abuse or stalking; the relentlessness of the abusers and the stalkers in how far they'll go to discredit their victims while dealing out their own personal brands of hell. This is torture, and this book contains trigger warnings across the board. I was upset. You'll probably be, too. Poor Clarissa. There wasn't a moment that I wasn't rooting for her, wanting to scream "YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT!" and Rafe, my God... what a truly despicable piece of trash. He was evil, and vulnerable and human in his evil, which made him even more disgusting and frightening, if possible.

As a reader, I was unclear as to who I was supposed to root for, or what the author wanted this book to be. The constant references to bloody fairytales confused the issue still further. In the preface, the Kendal thanks her father for giving her her first book of fairytales, and her mother for teaching her to read. The sections of the book reference fairytales, and Clarissa is compared to a princess, while she ponders dark tales like Bluebeard and Sleeping Beauty. After months of developing perhaps unrealistic hopes for The Book of You, I found it to be a perplexing, underwhelming read. As a counterpoint to the primary narrative, Clarissa is serving as a juror on a six week trial dealing with alleged kidnapping and rape. Ding, ding! The trial mimics Clarissa's experiences in ways so obvious that even she is aware of them. The trial, like Clarissa's own life, seems to drag on monotonously, with Clarissa cataloguing the names of legal and forensic experts who she could use in her own defense (but which she never, apparently does) and pondering all the ways in which the trial imitates real life. (I realize this is an inaccurate statement, since the trial is also someone's "real" life, but that is the way it seems to be presented in the novel.)Oh, and also find issue with the fact that the story is set in the city of Bath, England and yet Clarissa and Rafe are two names you almost never hear this side of the Atlantic.

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition. Most families and friendship groups have at least one person who is computer literate who can help. And if not, then maybe a group session would work best for you. Book of You assumes no computer experience and we’ve tried to make the process as simple as possible. If you are happy to go ahead and create one yourself without ever speaking to us, then that’s fine too! Our simple to use templates will work for everyone.

There are age appropriate questions to ask from the age of three, ‘What makes you happy?’ along with ‘What’s the naughtiest thing you’ve done this year?’ which evolves in to the most embarrassing thing when they get older. The questions mature as the years pass and it ends at age sixteen with a note to their future self along with hopes and predictions for the future. Previously, a dementia friendly concert was held as part of the North Wales International Music Festival at the Cathedral. This was a success and it will take place this year too, along with a workshop. Also at the Cathedral, they set up a table at All Things Dementia, which is run by the diocese in the cathedral (see photo).

This valuable handbook also offers examples of how others have used this information to find their own dream job or create the right conditions within their current job. You’ll find examples from college students just embarking on their first jobs to more seasoned professionals looking for post-retirement bliss, and many other examples in between. This is a very atmospheric book and I’m glad I didn’t find the audio book for this, because that would’ve made me even more uncomfortable. It started so good, however somewhere after the 2/3 all the creepiness that hooked me to the book was toned down. And that end, oh; it was insipid compared to the rest of the book. It is also interesting to note that both philosophers as well as successful travelers on this road to success tell us that the journey is the real prize, not merely arriving at the destination. A.

It is easy to distinguish the present day, the main part of the book covers seven weeks of Clarissa’s life, from the written notebooks by the font which meant that this was an easy read despite the jumps in times and place.Imagine a job that allows you to pursue your interests or passions using your unique strengths. Imagine that it causes little stress because your on-the-job needs are met. If your job meets this criteria, you would most likely be happy, successful, and understood at work. As well as this, they have shown 'The World Turned Upside Down' at the local cinema, a film that delves into the reality of living with and caring for a person with dementia. The film depicts both a play and the process of creating it, as well as the audiences’ reflections during the play. So what route does your roadmap follow? Whatever route you choose, the CelebrityExperts ® in this book can mentor your trip. It is a stylish and modern memory book to be filled out each year from age one through to sixteen. Deemed to be the continuation of the baby book, the journal’s recordings mature as the child does. It is the only childhood record book with prompts for the adult and questions for the child (from the age of three).

Carers Trust also runs sessions at the Community Centre where both people living with dementia and their carers can come and chat and take part in activities, both together and in separate groups. It has been a lifeline for carers to be able to relax and chat with people in similar circumstances to themselves. With all this going on, there is another character to add to the mix, a hunky fireman named Robert, who is Clarissa's fellow juror. As a reader, I was confused as to how I was supposed to feel about Robert- and not confused in a good, suspenseful way. On the one hand, Clarissa falls for him hook, line, and sinker, but she also realizes that he says many of the same things to her that her stalker, Rafe, does. She notes that when Robert says these things, she doesn't feel creeped out. It is unclear whether Clarissa's realization is meant to show us that a)Robert is also a stalker and Clarissa just doesn't get it, or b)romantic words are all in the delivery. On top of this, several people make comments to Clarissa, seemingly apropos of nothing, that they think something is "off" about Robert. I didn't feel that Robert was presented as an especially likeable character, but neither did he seem to be a psychopath. I kept hoping that some other man-the nice barrister, the helpful fellow walking his dog in the park-would turn out to be Clarissa's true love. To take a road trip to Success, we will need a destination as well as a GPS. Success is described here as the achievement of a goal. The goals we adopt may be the result of experience, vision or desire. They crystallize our desire to get to a better place.Another recollection from Brian W Williams is concerning the original bridge over the river in Park Road (now the A494) in the 1960's. The present bridge was built to replace it. The old bridge was narrow with a roadway width of about 9 feet and footways either side that were approximately 1'6'' to 2' in width. The bridge sides consisted of vertical steel sections about 6' apart and 7' high. Steel tubing linked these sections from the top down at 2' centres. Brian remembers he had seen similar railway bridges to the one at Ruthin and it is his view that it was built to take the original route of the railway from Ruthin to Corwen, and the Park Place Hotel was intended to be the 'Station Hotel' with railway workers cottages in Park Road. It is now known that the railway was rerouted due to objections from the owners of Ruthin Castle, because the railway would be in view as it passed through the Cae Ddol/Lon Fawr area. Clarissa wasn't a particularly likable character for me, but I did feel sorry for her. I was impressed by her persistence in keeping up with all of her "evidence" from Rafe's stalking. This book stirred a great deal of emotion in me and felt particularly realistic in some instances; I truly could feel Clarissa's terror as I read along and cringed at the "big finale". While there isn't a load of mystery to this book, there were a few little twists at the end but I found them to not be surprising as I had already guessed them. I also enjoyed the way the book was broken up into sections; without this, I feel like it would have become a monotonous read of repetitive "Rafe stalks, Clarissa collects evidence".
