Based on the diary her family kept in her final years, the story of Isabel Cecily O’Regan (1907-95) highlights the lottery that is care of the elderly and infirm today. Hers is the story of her family’s arrival in New Zealand, the power of the clergy, women’s health – particularly mental health – and how few choices women had before the pill.
