We are talking about Elizabeth is Missing the wonderful novel by Emma Healey which was also adapted for TV starring Glenda Jackson. Told from the perspective of Maud, an elderly lady who we realise quickly is the ultimate "unreliable narrator" in that she has dementia. Friendship, dementia, dignity, carer stress, pragmatic soliutions all feature as well as this being a brilliant sort of a "whodunnit" (no spoilers in the episode we promise!
