Why read it?
1 author picked Slow Puncture as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A love of cycling brought Peter Berry and Deb Bunt together as friends. Deb had not encountered a person with dementia until she met Peter. His positive attitude about living well with dementia and his poetic and insightful musings on his condition inspired her to write his memoir, to preserve his story. This is a deeply moving book, full of beautiful, lyrical language.
From Marianne's list on living with dementia.
