{"product_id":"9781847082695","title":"Remind Me Who I Am, Again","description":"At the beginning of the nineties Linda Grant's mother, Rose, became forgetful, frequently repeating the same question again and again: not because she couldn't remember the answer but because she could not recall having asked one, even seconds ago.  In 1993 she was diagnosed with Multi-Infaret Dementia.  It wasn't Alzheimer's disease but it would one day reach the same place, that lonely planet where those without memory live.  \u003cp\u003e  In \u003ci\u003eRemind Me Who I Am, Again\u003c\/i\u003e Linda Grant looks at the profound questions of identity, memoir and autonomy that dementia raises.  Along with Rose's memory, a whole world was in the process of being lost forever.  Growing up as they did in a Jewish immigrant family reborn for the twentieth century, a conspiracy of liars and tall-storytellers, Rose's children were now almost cut off from the truth about their extraordinary, wayward family - their father's day in 1920's New York as Harry Houdini's house guest, his beautiful doomed daughter from an earlier marriage, even his real name.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes she know you? kind friends ask.  But have Rose's children ever really known her? \u003ci\u003eRemind Me Who I Am, Again\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a disease, the workings of the mind and a quest to reconstruct the past.  Most of all it is a daughter's attempt to answer the question 'Do any of us really know our parents?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060797784304,"sku":"9781847082695","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847082695_p0.jpg?v=1763748921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847082695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
