About this product

Product Information

A touching tale of love, loss and family, The Little Girl in the Radiator is the sometimes heartbreaking story of a man's struggle to care for his mother after her diagnosis with Alzheimer's. Martin Slevin's mother was a highly active, very intelligent and fiercely independent woman who ran her own business. But after her diagnosis, Martin moves back home to care for her. Together they embark on a journey through the various stages of the condition. But one question plagues Martin: who is the little girl in the radiator who his mum has daily conversations with?

  • A great and amusing read

    This story is about a chap and his mother who developed Alzheimer's. It is highly amusing a lot of the time and sobering at other times. It is well written and achieves the goal of the writer in helping us all understand what Alzheimer's is all about and how it affects family, friends and the wider community. A great and amusing read on a subject we all need to know more about.
