About this ebook
A haunting and beautifully observed story of memory, ageing, and identity, where the lines between past and present are blurred.
SHORTLISTED, THE AGE BOOK OF THE YEAR FICTION AWARD 2026
SHORTLISTED, MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD 2026
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.
'A tender portrait of old age and the slippages of memory.’ AMANDA LOHREY
‘Lyrical and beautifully conceived. A sensitive and heartbreaking insight into the devastating impact of dementia on the sufferers and those who care for them.’ MICHAEL BRISSENDEN
