Memory is a woman with albinism languishing in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison in Harare, Zimbabwe, where she has been convicted of murder. As part of her appeal, her lawyer insists that she write down what happened as she remembers it. The death penalty is the mandatory sentence for murder, and Memory is, both literally and metaphorically, fighting for her life. As her story unfolds, she reveals that she has been tried and convicted for the murder of Lloyd Hendricks, her carer. But who was Lloyd Hendricks, really? And did everything happen exactly as she remembers? Moving between the townships of the poor and the suburbs and country retreats of the rich, and between the past and the present, Memory tells a tale of love, obsession, the relentlessness of fate, and the treachery of remembrance.
