the memories we bury

An emotionally charged and captivating novel about the complexities of female friendship and motherhood.

Everything seems perfect in Lizzie’s life until she finds out she is pregnant and her relationship with both Morag and Markus change beyond her control.

Can Lizzie really trust Morag and why is Markus keeping secrets from her?

In ‘The Memories We Bury’ the author explores the dangerous bonds we can create with strangers and how past memories can cast long shadows over the present.

The Memories We Bury: My Review

This is one of those kinds of books that will really get under your skin. It’ll make you really think about how people can manipulate each other in ways you didn’t even think possible…
Lizzie is a young new mother, perhaps a little naive, who has no-one to turn to when she needs support. Morag is a much older woman that doesn’t appear to have anyone either. So when the two women meet, they form a bond of friendship. But what happens when that bond starts to delicately fracture?
The Memories We Bury looks at how friendships start and how buried memories can simmer and cause heartbreak when you least expect it. It’s a wonderfully deep and insightful story that will really get you thinking.
