The Forget Me Not Chronicles: loveable but eccentic adventures of Maggie

The unforgettable, sharply funny dementia novel readers are calling "heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure.""Maggie is a masterpiece of chaos." "Tom broke my heart, then made me laugh out loud." "A beautifully honest story."It starts, as these things often do, with small slips. A misplaced remote. A teapot given away to a postman. A trolley "adopted" from Tesco Express. But Maggie Harris has never done anything by halves - so her dementia arrives with full-blown mayhem: five-hour bus trips to places she doesn't recognise, late-night wanderings, supermarket misunderstandings, disappearing shoes, jam-glued birthday cards, teapot purges, and a firm belief she once had tea with The Queen. Her son Tom, once a globe-trotting travel writer, now manages crisis after crisis - calming neighbours, rescuing postmen, and gently correcting her when she mistakes him for her late husband. But even he isn't ready for the day she no longer recognises her own house, or the night she accuses him of kidnapping her. And with Lucy offering long-distance support from Australia, Tom is left holding the pieces - and the kettle - while trying to keep Maggie safe without losing her spark. Now, as her world blurs and repeats, as stories loop and names slip away, Tom faces the question he's dreaded for months: Can he protect Maggie's dignity, humour, and independence... before the memories that make her Maggie disappear? Warm, chaotic, and devastatingly human, The Forget-Me-Not Chronicles shines a light on the fierce love between a mother who refuses to fade quietly and the son who won't let her go. A story about mischief, memory, and the moments that stay long after everything else has gone.
