Poignant and heartwarming South Korean memoir about three generations of women re-learning how to live together when dementia joins their family

An ode to the realities of aging, this is an honest but tender look at the challenges of caring for a relative with dementia, of how our role within the family unit evolves, and a celebration of spending precious time with those we love.

Written in warm and reflective prose, it explores the author's relationship with her mother and 94-year-old grandmother and their life in South Korea, with themes of resilience, patience, keeping memories alive, and the simple joys to be found in the everyday.

About the author

Kim Younglong

Kim Yeongrong runs the Youtube channel ‘RongRongTV’ where she captures the daily life of her 94-year-old grandmother living with dementia. Following her grandmother’s mid-stage dementia diagnosis, Yeongrong launched her channel to bring levity to their emotionally charged household, and record her grandmother in a spirit of playful remembrance rather than fearful doom. She wrote her memoir, WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER, in the hope readers will learn to see their precious loved ones with fresh eyes of curiosity, no matter how familiar their faces may seem. Gene Png is a literary translator and illustrator based in Seoul. She was awarded the Grand Prize in Poetry at the 53rd The Korea Times’ Translation Awards.
