The Book of You

Product Information

Switching between 1st and 3rd person perspectives, Kendal delivers a pulse pounding thriller that made me only want to read this book...during the day...in public. This year, with funding from local councils, Book of You also set up a 'Care Home Buddy' Project, recruiting and training volunteers within Denbighshire, Conwy and Pembrokeshire to visit and befriend care home residents for an hour once a week, many of whom have dementia. These residents have been identified as having few or no visitors and it is proving to be a very successful and valuable project and it is hoped that it will expand across the whole of Wales in 2024. As a young girl I was taught to be polite- say please and thank you- be respectful of other people's feelings...and act like a lady. The problem with that kind of upbringing is...unfortunately living by those rules alone can get in the way of trusting your instincts and keeping yourself safe. Not everyone is deserving of respect. Not everyone plays by the rules. And sometimes acting like a lady can get you killed... Margaret's father died when the children were still young. Their mother was given a Ten Shilling Pension (equivalent to 50p today). This was for rent, food, clothes and any other occurring expenditure. Therefore, much gratitude was felt for hand-me-down clothes. Mothers in this situation often went to work as cleaners, starting at dawn and arriving home before the children got up for school, as did Margaret's mother, as an extra source of income.

The ambition was to collectively build a movement for change across the county, establishing and supporting a Dementia Aware Denbighshire Community Network to share best practice and keep up momentum. As the programme developed, the plan supported individuals, voluntary and community groups, third sector organisations, care organisations and community focused businesses to raise awareness about dementia in their local communities and encouraged adaptations to services and activities to make them more inclusive.The word rapidly spread and attendees come from outside Rhuddlan as well. Around 28-30 people attend each group on a regular basis. Reminiscence therapy is increasingly seen as playing an important part in the care and support of people living with dementia, most notably because it has the potential to draw on early memories. These often remain intact in the minds of those who live with dementia and therefore we are able to highlight the person’s preserved abilities rather than any cognitive impairment. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o gartrefi gofal eisoes yn defnyddio math o brofforma papur ‘Dyma fi’ er mwyn i’r staff gael dysgu rhywfaint am y preswylwyr – er enghraifft eu hoff a’u cas bethau. Mae Book of You yn mynd un cam ymhellach ac yn ein galluogi i ddarganfod mwy am unigolyn, fel y rheswm pam nad yw’n hoffi rhywbeth arbennig. Yn ogystal â bod yn amhrisiadwy i’r staff, mae’n rhoi mwyniant i’r preswylydd ar ei ben ei hun neu gyda ffrindiau neu ofalwyr. Gan ei fod ar y We ac aelodau o’r teulu yn gallu ymuno drwy ddefnyddio cyfrinair, mae’n gallu dangos i’r teuluoedd beth mae’r perthynas yn wneud yn ystod y dydd – gweithgareddau, teithiau, ayb. A gall y teulu ychwanegu pethau at y Llyfr hefyd fel bod y preswylydd yn gallu gweld priodasau, newydd-ddyfodiaid i’r teulu, ayb., o ben baladr. Gall Book of You fynd gyda’r preswylydd i ysbyty neu os ydi o’n symud i gartref arall. Fel hyn fydd y wybodaeth byth yn mynd ar goll fel gall ddigwydd yn aml gyda ffeiliau papur.

A. Mae Book of you yn cymryd pryderon diogelwch ar y rhyngrwyd yn ddifrifol iawn. Ond rydym ni’n wahanol i safleoedd cyfryngau cymdeithasol eraill fel Facebook. Menter gymdeithasol ydym ni, nid cwmni preifat, ac eiddo preifat y sawl sy’n ei greu yw pob un o’n llyfrau. Safle wedi ei diogelu gan gyfrinair ydi Book of You, ac ni fydd neb ond chi a phwy bynnag ydych yn ei wahodd yn gallu gweld eich Llyfr chi. Fel yma bydd popeth ydych yn ei roi yn eich Llyfr yn hollol breifat. Er hynny, rydym yn argymell yn gryf, fel pob tro yr ydych yn defnyddio’r rhyngrwyd, eich bod yn cymryd gofal mawr i sicrhau nad oes unrhyw wybodaeth bersonol allai beryglu eich diogelwch neu alluogi rhywun i ddwyn eich hunaniaeth yn cael ei roi yn y parth cyhoeddus The Book of You follows Clarissa, a young, sylphlike, ultra-feminine woman, who is being stalked by a disgusting loser named Rafe. Whereas in Into the Darkest Corner, or in Killing Me Softly, the dangerous boyfriend is initially charismatic, sexy, and intelligent, in this novel, Rafe comes across as an unlikeable weirdo from the very beginning. His first intimate encounter with Clarissa is a bad one, and things just get worse from there. Dementia Friendly Denbigh has been a familiar sight around the Denbigh and Ruthin area, as well as further afield. They have supported various local projects, including The Forget Me Not Group Coffee Mornings, the dementia inclusive Nature Through the Window group, and the Denbigh in Bloom sensory garden on Ruthin Road, Denbigh. They have also run a number of quizzes at local pubs as a fundraiser.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. Co-created with people affected by dementia, the play explores scenarios at different points of characters’ experiences with dementia, from getting a diagnosis and sharing that with family members, to caring for a loved one living with dementia. 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. 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.
