From Goodreads
A secret she promised to keep, a boy with hair like fire, and a terrible accident –they’re all connected, if only May could remember how. May’s lost memories compel those close to her to relive the defining moments that set them on their current course. Naomi Kruger’s unforgettable debut explores memory, regret and the past’s hold on the present.
My thoughts
This was a book that my local Library Reading Group are reading for May coincidentally. I had never heard of it before being informed that it was our May read.
It's not a book that I would have chosen to read either. May is an elderly lady whose memory is escaping her as she ages, she lives in a home for the elderly relying on family and friends to visit her from time to time. Told through a series of flashbacks during a day in the life of May, it gives an insight into her past life. Set in the Lancashire area, this story is set in the area that I live and it was quite nice reading about the local area.
It's not a book that is easy to review really, it was a quick read that I neither loved nor hated and I am sat on the fence with my rating. If you have a few hours to spare, grab a copy for yourself and see which side of the fence that you find yourself on.
