The memory of love by Aminatta Forna

An English psychologist arrives in postwar Freetown and finds his patients' trauma entangled with an old man's decades-buried secret. Adrian Lockheart takes a temporary post in Sierra Leone to help patients recovering from civil war trauma, and finds himself drawn into the story of Elias Cole, a dying patient whose memories of a love affair decades earlier turn out to be tangled up with betrayal and complicity that reach into the present war's wounds. Forna weaves together two generations of Sierra Leonean life to build a meditation on memory, guilt, and what love survives when everything else has been destroyed. It won the 2011 Commonwealth Writers' Prize Best Book Award.
