About this listen

This audiobook is narrated by Julie Maisey and Fiona's husband, Martin Frizell.

'I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer’s. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.'

Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty-one when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heartbreaking diagnosis – under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family.

With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs – the inability to concentrate and the ‘brain fog’ she wrote off as the menopause – to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate.

Written with Fiona’s trademark honesty, Remember When is a compelling and moving memoir as well as a book offering an important insight into life with a disease that will impact many of us.

'Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shine through on every page' – Lorraine Kelly

'Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they’ve handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring' – Alison Hammond

Critic reviews

Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shine through on every page (Lorraine Kelly)
Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they’ve handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring (Alison Hammond)
The nation fell in love with Fiona, the queen of the breakfast TV sofa, as she seamlessly manoeuvred her way from skewering the PM to flirting with Donny Osmond to debating the very real dangers of killer bed slippers. Reading this book, you’ll fall in love with her all over again, as I have (Ben Shephard)

What a determined lady Fiona is, this is an interesting read and gives a good insight in to this wicked condition. To watch it come for both parents then it come for you, a well written but hard to read in places especially towards the end.

This book had me in tears. Such a brilliant and brave story. It has helped me understand my mum’s behaviour before she passed and now I know her indifference was a disease and not personal.

Thank you Fiona and Martin for such a moving story and for helping me.
