Synopsis

A profoundly beautiful literary novella about memory told from the perspective of an elderly woman with dementia, perfect for fans of Claire Keegan.

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.
