Memoria

A summer in the near future. Harriet is haunted by memories that feel completely foreign to her. Gradually, more and more fragments emerge, and Harriet must admit that what she has believed to be her life may have never actually happened. Harriet once stood on the brink of a career as a concert pianist until a seemingly harmless hand surgery shattered her great dream. At least, that is what she has believed until now. But since she saved a woman from a forest fire, she has been plagued by strange memories: scenes that seem to come from another life – and recurring images of violence that she herself commits. Harriet doubts her sanity and embarks on a journey into her past. However, this seems to unleash something she can no longer control, and with every hidden memory that returns, she comes dangerously close to a terrifying truth. Following her award-winning bestseller "Paradise City," Zoë Beck crafts a new, disturbingly relevant vision of the future: How reliable are our memories? What do they do to us? And who decides what we are allowed to forget?.
