Memory Book - Scrapbook for Photos, Journal & Keepsakes | Perfect for Weddings, Baby Showers & Family Memories | Great Gift Idea

Memory was sold to Lloyd by her parents at the age of eight. The most intriguing feature of this story is that the reason for the transaction is never really explored through the bulk of the book. Memory leaves a restaurant with Lloyd leaving her parents behind after viewing an open exchange of money. She lives with him in a wonderful, beautiful life and is given every opportunity. His family becomes her family. There is never any untoward attention from Lloyd toward her. This lack of discussion is of course somewhat frustrating to the reader, but it also adds to the aura of metaphysics. As her name implies, the meaning of the situation lies with her: Memory.The setting is Zimbabwe where she has been jailed for his murder as an adult. This history is a task set for her by her defense attorneys. This then is a study in the mutable nature of memory which flows with the settings of our past. It is a lovely book with a fascinating mystery that lures the reader.While Memory is a wonder of a character, for me Lloyd is the star of the magic of this book.
