'A wonderful and unusual story told in a beautifully understated
way. Quietly magnificent' Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost
Things Ten-year-old Joan was born with a rare gift: she can
remember every single day of her life in perfect detail. She can
tell you how many times her mother has uttered the phrase 'it never
fails' in the last six months (twenty-seven), or what she was
wearing when her grandfather took her fishing on a particular
Sunday in June years ago (fox socks). But Joan doesn't want to be
the girl who remembers everything - she wants to be the girl that
no one can forget. When her father's old bandmate Gavin comes to
stay, reeling from the sudden loss of his partner Sydney, Joan is
keen to enlist his help in making her name. Even if it means using
her extraordinary memory to help him solve the mystery of Sydney's
final months . . . Told in the alternating voices of two
unforgettable characters, Val Emmich's The Reminders is a funny,
heart-wrenching and uplifting story of friendship, grief, memory
and hope.
