Summary
"This ethnography compares the experiences of unpaid family carers of older adults in Japan and England. Their personal stories of caring-including thoughts on responsibility, fatigue, compassion, grief, and love-provide insight into the everyday lived experiences of care in two culturally distinct aging societies, as well as broader social and political implications."-- Provided by publisher
