The Memory of Love<br />
A Novel<br />
Linda Olsson<br />
Fans of Astrid & Veronika and Chris Cleave’s Little Bee<br />
will be thrilled to read Linda Olsson’s third novel. Here is<br />
Olsson doing what she does best: illuminating the terrain<br />
of friendship and examining the many forms that love<br />
can take.<br />
Marion Flint, a woman in her early fifties, has spent<br />
fifteen years living a quiet life on the rugged coast of New<br />
Zealand—a life that allows the door to her past to remain<br />
firmly shut. But a chance meeting with a young, damaged<br />
boy named Ika and her desire to help him force Marion<br />
to open the Pandora’s box of her memory. Seized by a<br />
sudden urgency to make sense of her past, she examines<br />
each image one-by-one: her grandfather, her mother, her<br />
brother, her lover. Perhaps if she can create order from<br />
the chaos, her memories will be easier to carry. Perhaps<br />
she’ll be able to find forgiveness for the little girl that was<br />
her, for the young woman she had been, and for the people<br />
she left behind.<br />
lindA olsson is the author of Astrid & Veronika and Sonata for<br />
Miriam. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, and Stockholm, Sweden.<br />
