A heartbreakingly beautiful novel, The Memory Box unlocks an unforgettable epic story of love and war, from the million-copy-selling author of The Letter, Kathryn Hughes. If you adored The Nightingale, The Tuscan Contessa or My Name is Eva, this is the book for you.
She had locked away her story for decades. It was time to set the past free...
2019. On her one-hundredth birthday, Jenny Turner opens the beautifully carved wooden box beside her bed, the box she was given by the man who loved her, which holds only three items - an old pebble, a carving and a newspaper cutting. Picking up the cutting, she knows the time is finally here. There is one last goodbye she needs to say, and to do this she must find a way to return to the mountainside village in Italy, where seventy-five years ago, at a time of war, she fought for love and for freedom, experienced great loss...and left behind a piece of her heart.
