The first review
Margaret Forster takes us on a wonderful journey through Catherine's discovery of her dead mother. The 'memory box' her mother leaves her daughter as she dies, when the child is only six months old, reminds us of the importance of personal history and the sense that it gives us all of our grounding in life.

Disappointing
This is my least favorite of all the Margaret Forster books I have read. I found it very difficult to stay interested in the whole novel and felt that the storyline really didn't go anywhere.

The first review,
By Louise Walker (Edinburgh, Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Memory Box (Audio Cassette)
Margaret Forster takes us on a wonderful journey through Catherine's discovery of her dead mother. The 'memory box' her mother leaves her daughter as she dies, when the child is only six months old, reminds us of the importance of personal history and the sense that it gives us all of our grounding in life. The journey that Catherine undertakes leads her to question her own lifestyle and the relationships with her father, stepmother and Tony her boyfriend. To the very end she reconciles her feelings for the mother she tried to ignore and discovers unexpected truths about herself. The box for thirty years enclosed and contained within the attic of her family home, once opened like Pandoras Box, couldnt be closed again. An engaging story which will make you question your history.

I came across this book through "the reading group, by Elizabeth Noble". She has a great list of books to read.
