THE BOOK OF MEMORY
THE BOOK OF MEMORY by the Zimbabwean author, Petina Gappah is the recollection of a Zimbabwean woman, Memory waiting to be executed for the murder of her adopted father.
As her story unfolds, Memory reveals that she has been tried and convicted for the murder of Lloyd Hendricks, her adopted father. But who was Lloyd Hendricks? Why does Memory feel no remorse for his death? And did everything happen exactly as she remembers?
In THE BOOK OF MEMORY, Petina Gappah has created a uniquely slippery narrator: forthright, acerbically funny, and with a complicated relationship to the truth.
Moving between the townships of the poor and the suburbs of the rich, and between the past and the present, Gappah weaves a compelling tale of love, obsession, the relentlessness of fate, and the treachery of memory.
Gappah who is also a Lawyer was in 2016 named the African Literary Person of the year by Brittle Paper.
