You Must Remember This
You Must Remember This | Sean Wilson
2 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
Grace can't settle. She can't shake the feeling that someone is missing. You Must Remember This is an eloquent jumble of a family story, as experienced by Grace, an elderly woman with dementia trying to get her moorings in a worsening storm. It contemplates the perils of remembering and forgetting, making your own way in the world and how we seem bound to repeat the patterns of the past. Most profoundly it's about sensing what it's like to live on while your faculties dim, and about finding peace.

My mum has advanced dementia and this novel feels very real and how I imagine things have been for my mum. So many parallels. I have often pondered how utterly discombobulating it must be. This book captured the unmooring nature of dementia so well. Beautiful 🥺

Rissreadswithcats So do you think it‘s a good time now for me to read this book or maybe wait a bit? 20h
MrsMalaprop @Rissreadswithcats I did wonder whether it was the right time for me, but decided I could handle it. It‘s very good, but it depends on whether you feel in the right headspace. Let me know if you want to borrow my copy. 8h

A very new book written by a West Aussie now living in Melbourne. An easy read in that the words flow. The subject Grace has dementia. This story relates how it must be to actually be her. Gave me a better understanding of someone with dementia and reminded me of the time I spent with my dad .

squirrelbrain Sounds like a tough read. A beautiful cover though. 1w
LiteraryHoarderPenny I thought this one was a great look into it and I felt it amazing someone so young (Emma Healey) wrote so well about it! The audiobook was excellent. 7d
