Everything I loved about 'Top of the Lake' I loved about THE MEMORY OF LOVE by Linda Olsson

The harshly beautiful landscape of New Zealand -- and the harshly beautiful people of New Zealand -- create a rich environment for this wonderfully talented author.

On a quest to rescue a little boy from a rotten home situation, the protagonist, Marion, journeys into her own troubled past and confronts the realities of the people who loved and hurt damaged her.

Highly recommended for book clubs and lovers of excellent literary fiction.
