Product Description

Product Description

Lillian would say she's no trouble, content to let hte days go by, minding her own business and bothering no one. She'd rather not recall the past and, at 72, doesn't see much point in thinking too much about the future. But when her closed existence is suddenly shattered by a random act of violence committed by a young girl, Lillian is catapulted abruptly out of her exile.

Robbed of everything she owns, she embarks on a journey to find the thief -- but soon finds that what began as a search for stolen belongings has in fact become about the rediscovery of a stolen life.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Truth is, as you get older, things get further away", 16 Mar 2004
By M. J Leonard "MikeonAlpha" (Silver Lake, Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Remember Me (Paperback)
Memory, suffering and loss are the themes of this rather abstract and densely imagined book by Trezza Azzopardi. I can't say this is one of my favourite books of the year – the story takes a little too long to develop and Azzopardi's method of switching backwards and forwards in time becomes, at times, a little blurred. But the story is still a quite elegant and engaging study of one woman's anguish and torment and of the puzzle of a life at last reclaimed. Narrated in the first person by the seventy-two-year old Winifred – homeless and abused time after time by those she's trusted – she is content to sit on park benches watching the world go by, or read the "free sheets" for furniture she can't afford to buy. She would rather not recall the past, but after a young girl robs her of her suitcase and wig - her only material possessions – she is propelled out of her exile, and forced on a journey to find the thief.The Remember Me is a cerebral venture, a journey of the mind and memory. Winifred must confront her stolen life and her time living as a young girl against the backdrop of the Second World War. In fragments and illusions, she is gradually forced to take stock of how abuse, long obscured have bought her to a dilapidated house on the edge of nowhere. She recalls the upheaval caused by her mentally ill Mother, and her disaffected father; and the betrayal by her strict and domineering grandfather, her embittered, sallow Aunt Ena and the kindness offered by the lodger, Mr. Stadnik. She also recalls Joseph Dodd, her lost and only love, a young man who she meets in the country. As Winifred pieces together her life, she realizes that she is not only searching for a thief, but she is searching for a life that was lived, and at once, irretrievably lost. Remember Me requires a close reading as Azzopardi peppers the narrative with many subtle and understated clues to Winifred's life. The story unfolds slowly and mellifluously as Winifred's identity and her "mistakes" are gradually revealed. Like her Mother, Winifred feels an affinity with the spirit world and is trained to see ghosts –she sees herself in reflection, "the girl looking back at me from underneath, like a premonition of what was to come" Winifred sees "future ghosts", memories stored on top of one another; she's building a "tower without bells" and later, she will bring them down in an earthquake of her own making. Full of poetic imagery, Remember Me draws a sharp contrast with the dreamlike quality of Winifred's youth and her ambling, wondering and solitary present life. Azzopardi uses short, sharp, yet incredibly descriptive sentences to create a world of reverie and emotion. This is a complex and opaque novel, full of feeling and passion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, 19 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I am so impressed with this book that I hardly know where to begin. During page-turning and pin-drop quiet reading I have startled myself by gasping aloud, so touched am I by the skill of this writer, the beauty in her craft.
What more can I say? I simply love this book and will be giving it as a present to anyone I know with a vibrant heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it more than once, 14 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I read this book largely because I knew it was set in Norwich, which is where I have lived for the past 15 years, which gave it an added interest for me. I had also read and enjoyed The Hiding Place by the same author which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize a couple of years ago. Remember me is intricate. When I reached the end, I wanted to read it again straightaway because I knew I had missed some of the subtleties. Like a mystery story, it all really comes together at the end when you have all the bits in place. I realised then that where early in the book I had felt as though I couldn't get hold of a plot, it was because it was written from the disjointed view of a young child who sees the adult world around it through eyes which do not understand what they are seeing. I have yet to read it again, though I will do soon. It is a book that deserves closer and more careful attention. Added advantage? That it is set in a city I love

2.0 out of 5 stars didn't enjoy it
took this one for my holiday read, didn't enjoy it - it's quite depressing really. Although well written, the story meandered aimlessly and just took too long to get to the end... Read more
