All That We Remember

by Zoe Adams

When a young woman loses her memory after a traumatic car accident, she decides to recuperate in her palatial family home - a gorgeous mansion set high on the cliffs - which is about to be sold. Seizing this as her last opportunity to enjoy summer there, and hoping it will stimulate her memory, which is alarmingly blank for large sections of her childhood, she moves in. But instead of the peace she is seeking, she begins to relive someone else's memories of the house, and her every movement stirs another presence. As the tension builds, her trust in both old and new relationships is tested, and tragic secrets begin to surface. A haunting image of a white wisplike veil winds through her dreams and into unfolding events - and the unveiling of the final secret leaves her changed forever.

A very pleasant light read with a slight supernatural/ ghostie element.

Unlike many books with a ghost element this one manages to keep a strong sense of here and now to the narrative. The characters are distinct and absorbing rather than becoming mere stereotypes in a supernatural story which also is prone to happening. I loved the New Zealand background to the story and I felt that the ending was extremely satisfying so that I put this book down with the feeling of having read a story well told.

A really good story from start to finish could not put the book down and it was a very satisfying read

I almost did put the book down initially but once I got passed the first hundred pages I had to find out the identity of the ghost! An easy holiday read - not scary at all!

I got totally wrapped up in the story and just couldn't put it down. A great read.
