Remind Me Who I Am, Again, by Linda Grant (ISBN 1862071713), is a memoir that explores the impact of memory loss on identity, family, and selfhood.
In 1993, Grant’s mother, Rose, was diagnosed with multi-infarct dementia, a form of vascular dementia. As Rose’s memory gradually faded, Grant confronted deeply personal questions about who we are without our memories, how families adapt to the shifting realities of illness, and what remains of a person when their past begins to disappear. Blending intimate recollection with sharp observation, the book offers a moving account of love, loss, and the fragile threads that connect us to our sense of self.
