How do you build a life when all that you know is changing?

How do you conceive of love when you can no longer recognise those who mean the most to you?

A phenomenal memoir, Somebody I Used to Know is both a heart-rending tribute to the woman Wendy Mitchell once was, and a brave affirmation of the woman dementia has seen her become.©2018 Wendy Mitchell (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

It’s honesty and compassion

I liked that it was factually correct . The honesty and vulnerability. Made me reflect on dementia but also aging and the loss that comes with both.
