The Memory Library by Kate Storey

I had never heard of Kate Storey, but I was sent the blurb and loved the premise so thought I would try it, and I’m so glad I did. A wonderfully written insight into family life, and how misunderstandings can fester if unresolved.

Sally started a library for her daughter when she was a little girl. Each year on her birthday she added another book, with an insight as to why she chose that particular book on the inside. Unfortunately her daughter Ella fled to Australia many years before after a bad argument, so hasn’t seen the majority of the books. When Sally has a bad fall, Ella is forced to come back to look after her for a while – which she is very much dreading. However sometimes things are not always as they seem, and sometimes a second chance is just what you need.

A rich, poignant book, with very believable and relatable characters. I absolutely loved it – and can’t wait to start a memory library for my Grandchildren. 😀
