Description

The Memory Trap is the winner of the 2015 Melbourne Prize Best Writing Award.

This novel delves into themes of memory, music, friendship, family rifts, and reconciliation, offering a beautiful and intelligent read.

Nina Jameson, an international consultant on memorial projects based in London, has enjoyed a happy marriage to Daniel for twelve years. However, when her life unravels, she takes a job in her hometown of Melbourne. There, she reconnects with her sister, Zoe, who is dealing with her own issues involving Elliot, an American biographer of literary women.

In Melbourne, Nina also becomes entangled in the longstanding conflicts between two friends from her past: the celebrated pianist Ramsay Blake and his younger brother, Sean. All these individuals have been precariously balancing their lives on thin ice for too long.

Nina returns home to find her work, love life, and deeply rooted obsessions facing new challenges and threats.

A rich and compelling story of marriage, music, the illusions of love, and the deceits of memory, The Memory Trap presents characters who are real, flawed, and touchingly human.
