Who do you become when your mind misbehaves?

Neurologist Dr Jules Montague blends stories of her patients experiencing dementia, brain injury and other neurological disorder with profound insights on what makes us who we are. At once poignant and consoling, this revelatory book explores how we lose ourselves and those around us - and how we can be found again.

Lost and Found is a fascinating and timely examination of what happens to the person left behind when memories disappear, personality changes, and consciousness is disrupted.
