The Memory Library by Kate Storey ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ella receives a call that her mother Sally has had a bad fall. Ella reluctantly drops everything in her life to fly from Australia to England to take care of her mother. While she is there, she notices some memory issues with Sally. As someone who delt with dementia with my grandmother until she passed and now with my father-in-law, a lot of this felt very real. This was a story about second chances between mother and daughter. I loved the references to a lot of classic books. The story is told in a dual timeline (current day and flashbacks) and from two POVs. The writing was done well and the characters, although not all likable at the beginning, do grow on you. I love stories that showcase the complexity of family relationships and dynamics. Even though the overarching feeling was sad, there was still a lot of love and hope that were woven in there. For me, it brought up a lot of memories. LTKGiftGuide LTKFamily LTKFindsUnder50
