Matchbox Memories

Matchbox Memories

A gentle mystery story laced with warm and insightful humour.
Ian Greefe always had issues with his parents - the main one being that they aren't.
Settled for many years at the other end of the country, out of the blue he gets a call to arms; he has to care for his mother, who now has Alzheimer's, while his father is in hospital.
Over the course of a week 'back home', secrets gradually come out that make him reassess his views on family life, and come to terms with his own shortcomings as a son and father.

A warm, bittersweet comedy drama full of though-provoking contradictions, here are just some of the quotes from independent reviewers:
So much more than just a comedy - a wonderful, intimate blend of emotions wound up in a slice of 'real' life, delivered with mastery.
Bittersweet is the perfect description of this. I loved the humour and poignancy. There were so many brilliant lines that I stopped picking them out and just read.
I loved it, the dialogue was very realistic, the characters were easy to picture. This is definitely something I would select in a bookstore.
Youâ€™re great at really capturing a character with just a turn of phrase or one or two lines.
A cracker.
An exceptionally well delivered offering in a technical sense - uncliched, crisp, lively prose, top quality construction
A darned good read.
First class.
Absolutely loved it!
Definitely pulled me into the story. Something I would buy.
Professional and a pleasure to read.
A treat to read some genuinely amusing comedy
I really enjoyed this and laughed out loud several times. You demonstrate a compelling wit and kept me amused throughout. Perhaps humour is the best way of dealing with serious issues like Alzheimers but you underpin this with a genuine sense of concern.
