Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A twisty tale of twinspacily written The ObserverWhat does it mean to remember? Joined at birth, then pulled apart, Selina and Zoras relationship is marked by a pattern of closeness and separation. Growing up in 50s and 60s London under the shadow of Enoch Powell, they are instinctively dependent on each other, and yet Zora yearns for her own identity. But in the eyes of the people around them, the twins are interchangeable. They come as a pair. They are Selzora. Now in her seventies and living with the early stages of dementia, Selina is tracing shards of memory. She is intent on untangling the traumatic events of the past that changed the twins lives. Perhaps Lydia, who has reintroduced herself to Selina with sharp, cool charisma, will help her find answers. But even as Selina struggles to make sense of her memories, its all too clear that Lydia is hiding something. In Memory of Us is a profound evocation of memory, and the strategies employed for illusion and survival in the wake of racism. It offers an often-overlooked insight into life as a Black Briton after the Windrush generation.Praise for In Memory of Us: This reflective study of memory and illusion as a survival technique is fascinating.
