The Memory Box
by Kathryn Hughes
Heartbreaking historical fiction set partly in World War Two, inspired by true events.
The Memory Box tells the story of Jenny Tanner, who we first meet at her
one-hundredth birthday party. As she gazes around the plush surroundings of her
care home, she realizes she has outlived everybody who ever mattered to her. In telling
her story to Candice, the young girl who cares for her and has become her confidante,
Jenny resolves to visit Italy one last time. She knows it will be painful but there’s
something she has to do. And she cannot do it with Candice’s help.
