An Orange Prize winner and Booker prize nominee tells the story of her mother's memory loss to Alzheimer's, and her own quest to not let her family history vanish along with it Here, prizewinning author Linda Grant tells the story of her mother's gradual but devastating mental deterioration, her diagnosis as a victim of Alzheimer's disease, and her family's struggle to come to terms with the catastrophic impact of the disease. Immensely moving, at times darkly comic, and searingly honest, it combines biography and memoir in a unique examination of the profound questions of identity, memory, and autonomy that dementia raises.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Linda Grant is the author of The Clothes On Their Backs, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Still Here, which was longlisted for the Booker; The Thoughful Dresser; and When I Lived in Modern Times, which won the Orange Prize for Fiction and was shortlisted for the Jewish Quarterly Prize.
In the wake of her mother's escalating loss of memory and independence, Grant confronts her sense of having lost her mother and is inspired by the opportunity to explore her heritage and family history and fears for the future. Patricia Gallimore captures the roller-coaster ride through despair and hope, a valiant attempt at patience and some semblance of humor. Gallimore presents Grant's mother as a woman who is careful about how she puts herself forward, but whose awareness and fear of her mental deterioration are poignant and palpable. By not overplaying the contrast in emotional response between daughter and mother, Gallimore lets the intensity underlying the story prevail.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the beginning of the nineties Linda Grant's mother, Rose, was diagnosed with Dementia. In Remind Me Who I Am, Again Linda Grant tells the story of Rose's illness, and tries to reconstruct the history of their Jewish immigrant family, stalking them from Russia and Poland to New York and London. Writing with humour and great tenderness, Grant explores profound questions about memory, autonomy and identity, and asks if we can ever really know our parents. 'A skilful, moving, even humorous book. It is more than an elegy for a lost mother or the charting of one human being's decline . It is an investigation of memory, which concludes that Memory, I have come to understand, is everything, it's life itself' - Scotland on Sunday Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
