THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES

Book ID/图书代码： 06580014B70068

English Summary/英文概要： Eleanor’s grandchildren think it’s time that their nearly-blind, 94 year old grandmother should be cared for in a home. Eleanor is anxious that she should clear out her belongings and destroy her secrets herself, rather than leave the task to her family. After her first attempt results in an almost disastrous fire, her grandson appoints his friend Peter to come and sift through the boxes of books and papers in preparation for the move. Peter’s curiosity is piqued by three letters which seem to tell the story of a dangerous and illicit love affair, and he gradually encourages Eleanor to open up about the events of her youth. Shifting between flashbacks to Eleanor’s childhood in the countryside and her experiences in London during the Blitz, and the present day as the secrets of Eleanor’s life are consigned to history, THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES is a beautiful evocation of an old woman’s memories of her hidden past.
