About the Book

'The book of you is dominated by night-black seas, sprinkled with shining island sentences: tiny islets of remembrance, glimmering in the night.'

Memory isn't all that we think it is. Each time we revisit even our most deeply ingrained memories, they can soften and consolidate, distorted. Yet they also carry within them the blueprint of each person's unique style. From episodic memories like shining islands in dark water, and forgotten memories that underpin our personalities, to the memories authored by others that we carry within us, Rowlands explores our negotiations with the past and how memory makes us who we are.

Drawing on the latest neurological and psychological research and on a range of writers and thinkers, The Book of Memory is a mesmerising journey into how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves.

Review :
Fascinating, disturbing and ultimately reassuring - a deep dive into the messy filing cabinet of self. If you only remember one book you read this year, it will be this one. A charming philosophical take on a fact that ought to be much more widely known: that our memories may be stories, but they are our stories. Appealingly witty...you couldn't wish for a more pleasant companion to lead you on a merry dance around the idea of memory A profound and funny examination of what it means to be fulfilled [Offers] fresh and radical answers to some of the oldest questions in ethics. A must read Wise, profound, often very funny, I loved every page
