Afterword by Alzheimer's Research UK.

'Shobna Gulati is the Northern heroine of a nation' - Lemn Sissay

'Lucid and probing' - Guardian

'Wonderful and emotional, a masterpiece of resilience.' - Emma Kennedy

Remember Me? is a memoir about caring for a parent with dementia and the memories that resurface in the process.

In her first book, Shobna Gulati sets out to reclaim her mother's past after her death, and in turn, discovers a huge amount about herself and their relationship.

Remember Me? captures the powerful emotions that these memories hold to both Shobna and her mother; secrets they had collectively buried and also the concealment of her mother's condition. What ensues is a story of cultural assimilation, identity and familial shame.

'A raw, honest, moving and wry account of the complexity of a mother daughter relationship convoluted by the torment of dementia.' - Sanjeev Bhaskar

'Gulati's book not only describes the complexities of caring (we must not forget its joys, she says, alongside its difficulties) and her mother's dementia, it is also an exploration of identity.' - Guardian

'You'll find yourself not wanting to leave her trusted embrace.' - Desiree Burch

'Beautifully written. Heartfelt.' - Kate Robbins

'I laughed, I cried ... a relationship like no other.' - Ferne Mccann

Industry Reviews

Shobna Gulati is the Northern heroine of a nation. - Lemn Sissay

Gulati's book not only describes the complexities of caring (we must not forget its joys, she says, alongside its difficulties) and her mother's dementia, it is also an exploration of identity. - The Guardian

Lucid and probing. - The Guardian

A beautiful ode to mothers, to reconciliation, to family, to memory, to identity, Shobna Gulati writes with devastating, heartbreaking clarity and warmth. I teared up many times and the book stayed with me long after I'd finished it.
