Summary

Maggie Harris has declared herself an Icelandic princess, insists she once dated a Viking from Scarborough, and is currently holding a garden gnome hostage. She’s also losing her memory. Tom, her long-suffering son, would love nothing more than a quiet life. Instead, he’s juggling care plans, biscuit shortages, and trying to stop his mother from getting arrested - again. The Forget Me Not Chronicles is a sharply observed, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender story about navigating the chaos of dementia with equal parts love, exasperation, and tea. Told through Tom’s world-weary but affectionate eyes, this book captures the beautiful absurdity of caring for someone who’s slowly forgetting who you are - but never losing who they are at heart. Each chapter is its own comedic adventure: a failed funeral for someone still alive, a toaster deemed “a domestic terrorist,” and a deeply suspicious number of shopping baskets mysteriously appearing in Maggie’s hallway. But beneath the laughter lies something deeper - an unspoken grief, the ache of watching someone fade, and the quiet heroism of showing up anyway. This is not a book about dementia. It’s a book about a mother and son, and the messy, ridiculous, heartbreaking love that binds them. Because sometimes the most extraordinary journeys happen in the most ordinary living rooms.
