Memory Fail

Have you ever forgotten to buy the milk on the way home? Or forgotten your new colleagues name? Perhaps, yes? Once in a while?Now, how about forgetting where you re walking to, where you re headed to? Or, whether you ve had breakfast, what you did/ where you were for the whole day?Probably not? Most of us have an intact working memory that allows us to remember our day-to-day activities. Memory Fail is a memoir, told by Linda Loprasert (nee Lee), of what it s like to not have a working memory. After being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 26, Linda experiences first hand the life of a brain cancer patient. In addition to taking you through the journey of being diagnosed with cancer, through to remission and fitting back into life , what makes Memory Fail unique is that Linda gives real life examples of the Memory Fails she experienced. A very candid, eye opening and inspiring read.
