THE MEMORY TREES
KALI WALLACE
320
YA / FANTASY
Sypnosis:
A dark magical realism novel about a mysterious family legacy, a centuries-old feud, and a tragic loss that resurfaces when sixteen-year-old Sorrow returns to her mother’s family orchard for the summer.
Main characters:
– Sorrow
– Patience
Main events:
Sorrow returns home to Vermont where her mother and grandmother live. Sorrow’s sister Patience died when Sorrow was eight, but Sorrow can’t remember what happened or why.
There is history between the Lovegood’s (Sorrow’s family) and the Abrams (their neighbours) that goes back to the 17th Century. Family feuds and history what more can I say.
Most exciting part: There wasn’t an exciting part. But there was lots of great parts to the book.
My favourite part: I loved that the book went from past to present. That way you got to learn more about the Lovegood’s and Abrams.
My summary:
I started researching my family tree a few years ago and loved learning about the history, the characters and the photos within my family’s stories. This has been a big interest in my life and it made me love this book so much more. Because learning about families and how they wasn’t perfect helped me understand this book more and make it more personal to me.
Sorrow experiences the same feelings I did, she learns about her family and the feud with the Abrams. The book goes back to the 17th century to the first of the Lovegood’s and Abrams and you learn about how they started to hate eachother.
Sorrow also starts to remember more and more about her sister and how she died. She learns more about how her family are connected to the Abrams and realised the secrets that are kept are bigger than they thought.
My Review:
This book was beautiful written. The story was amazing and the characters were brilliant. The history elements within the plot turn this book into something more than just a story. It creates a world and a life within the pages and makes it so much more real than just words.
Rating:
5 ★ – AMAZING
