The Memory Of Love

*The memory of love*

A catastrophic civil war in Sierra Leone today has left the entire population with secrets to keep. A talented young surgeon in the capital hospital is being threatened by demons that are plaguing him on a daily basis. A dying man who lived through the stormy postcolonial years of the country and has stories to tell that are far from heroic is lying in another room of the hospital. These guys are drawn unintentionally closer by a British psychologist with good intentions and into the path of the one woman at the center of their stories as past and present collide in the bustling city.

The Memory of Love is a work of exquisite writing and rare knowledge that masterfully weaves together two generations of African life to tell a tale of grief, forgiveness, the lasting impacts of the past, and ultimately, the very nature of love.
