The most popular French dementia books

Books about dementia tell what it is like to lose memory, or to watch someone you love lose theirs. Novels sometimes take you inside a failing mind, and memoirs describe the long work of caring. They are tender, sad and often surprisingly full of love and humor. Only books in French are listed.
