By the first few pages I hope you can tell that the narrator has been alive a long time, explaining the way it is written.

There is no distinction between the characters genders.

The Part that remembers the time they gave bracelets to one another, brings about another way of coming together...following how their courtship developed and the apple tree that is depicted throughout the novel using its fruit. It gets sad for a bit after this, but notice that it gets sad because there is so much more to why the one lost is worth writing about.

It is partly a love story. You know for sure it is when you get to the part about the piano played and music written, you should at least read to the first song.

The memory at the exhibition and recalling times in the rain and snow is next. They travelled a lot together and you will read of a place if you read a little after the description of the surrounding of their home.

If you read to the first birthday mentioned, you will find a recipe worth trying, a poem worth reading, and fireworks. The narrator is a playwright, so there is a play that is broken down throughout the novel...it is a difficult read, but it is important in showing how the two brought their work together, and what differences they made.

Things are repeated to show how important positive repetition is, showing how to move on while remembering especially the passion.

This novel is full of passion carried through the love they had for each other, their work, and friends...you might want to read at least until you hear about their friends.
This novel completes the story as the pages go on, putting certain pages together will bring the memories in order.

It is an easy read.

It Is written poetically which gives it justice. It begins the way it ends...

'Sporadic Memories' is a novel about a life that needs to be read.
