A "courageous and singular book" (Andrew Solomon),
Memory's Last Breath
is an unsparing, beautifully written memoir "an intimate, revealing account of living with dementia" (

She writes about shopping trips cut short by unintentional shoplifting, car journeys derailed when she loses her bearings, and the embarrassment of forgetting what she has just said to a room of colleagues. Coping with the complications of losing short-term memory, Saunders, a former university professor, nonetheless embarks on a personal investigation of the brain and its mysteries, examining science and literature, and immersing herself in vivid memories of her childhood in South Africa.
