The Memory Library
by Kate Storey
"The Memory Library" by Kate Storey and skillfully narrated by Jilly Bond; Imogen Wilde is the story of a mother and daughter repairing their relationship. They haven't seen each other in more than twenty years: Ella moved to Australia and started a new family there and Sally stayed in England, building a library that she hopes to leave to her daughter someday. When an accident requires Ella to return to England to take care of her mother she discovers how wrong she had been all those years.
I liked how books and reading were woven into the story and I liked the setting and the details. But I just could not bring myself to like Ella at all. Who would carry a grudge over such a minor thing toward their mother for such a long, long time? She seemed childish and petulant and was really an annoying character. She did improve over time, but I found her way to selfish and self-centered. I just hope her own daughter doesn't do the same to her someday.
