Raw, moving and seriously funny, How to Lose Your Mother is Molly Jong-Fast's account of a sometimes chaotic upbringing and how that can really mess you up. But with her mother's heartbreaking descent into dementia, and Molly's realization that she is going to lose this remarkable woman, it is also a story of love, loss, confusion and deep grief. Taking us behind the scenes of a fascinating and sometimes tumultuous family dynamic, it leaves us with a better understanding of our own most precious relationships.
