ljrinaldi 's review for:
Forget Me Not
by Alix Garin
This is the story of memories. First that the Clémence's grandmother has Alzheimer's, and keeps escaping from her care home, because she thinks she has to go home. Second, there are the memories that Clémence has of growing up with the love of her grandmother, and how her mother was never there for her.
Clémence can't stand to see the woman who basically raised her, being locked up, and so decides to kidnap her grandmother and take her to her childhood home. Only problem with that, is it isn't really legal, so they are both on the run.
The way the author writes about memory loss seems to ring quite true, and it can be so frustrating talking with someone like that, and not having them see or recognize you, or when they keep insisting that someone is alive when they are long dead.
Oh and Clémence is lesbian, which has a little bit of a factor in what happens in the story. But really this is the road trip of a granddaughter, and a grandmother who doesn't even know who she is at times.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
