Review:

‘The Forgetting is completely absorbing, fascinating, the best of writing, thought-provoking, socially important and imperative to read, with the narrative pull of a well-written murder mystery.’ Amy Tan

‘It’s not only great science writing – it takes a terrifying disease that will affect us all, directly or indirectly, as we grow older, and gives it a meaning and a human face.’ Mark Haddon, Books of the Year, Guardian

‘Lucid and often moving...Shenk is a wonderful writer on science. His prose zings along.’ Independent

‘A startling book, a mixture of history, science, politics and compelling case studies’ Daily Telegraph

From the Publisher:
