Book Review #3
The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna
'Memory of Love' tells the story of Adrian Lockheart, a British psychologist who leaves his family behind in England to work in Sierra Leone. He arrives in Freetown, the Sierra Leonean capital, folowing the end of civil war. He quickly becomes friends with Kai Mansaray, a young surgeon at the hospital he works at. In the hospital Adrian encounters Elias Cole, an elderly and unwell man, who is in the midst of reflecting on his past. The memories of his youth in the busselling capital are recorded in a series of notebooks. These notebooks frequently talk about Saffia, a woman he had an obsessive love for, as well as referrring to her fiery, rebellious husband. The stories of these four main charcters will over the course of the book entwine and collide to create an unforgetable story about love, loss and the effects the past can have on your future.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it gave a great insight into the lives of Sierra Leonean people before and after the civil war. The fact that this book is told through the eyes of different people, both from Sierra Leone and foreigners, allows the reader to discover the perspective and accounts of people from various backgrounds with regards to the situation of the country. Moreover, I thought that the fact that the novel is based around a love story makes it that much more real and emotional for the reader. It is beautifully written, and both moving and uplifting. If you are interested in Sierra Leone or enjoy a love story with a dramatic backdrop, I recommend you read 'The Memory of Love'.
