The Carer is a funny and witty read at the same time as it’s a deep and exploratory novel about parent-child relationships and ageing. Middle class absurdity, fun challenges, and a classic societal dilemma comes into fruition in this family drama that is played out over comedic passages and brilliant prose.

Deborah Moggach is a fantastic writer who delivers endearing humour through a penetrating eye. The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Tulip Fever, delivers a deliciously funny, poignant and wry novel, full of surprising twists and turns. Many layered and multifarious, it’s a pacy read that keeps you engaged long after the final page.
