Author Description

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.
