to remember & be remembered
What are we willing to forget in order to survive? Do our memories shape who we are or does who we are shape how we remember things? How can we truly know if a memory is our own or if it has been planted by someone or something else? What happens when we can no longer rely on our memories?
If these kinds of questions make your heart flutter, then this list is for you. Spanning across multiple genres, these books are bound together by one common thread... memory (or the lack of it).
