| Annotation | The author's mother, Rose, is one of 650,000 people in Britain who suffer from dementia. Linda Grant tells the story of her mother's gradual but devastating mental deterioration, her diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia, and her family's struggle to come to terms with the impact of the disease. She attempts to reconstruct the past, but in doing so realises that there are questions about her family history and its Jewish past which cannot now be answered. The book combines biography and memoir, in which questions concerning identity, memory and autonomy raised by dementia are examined. (RH). |
