About This Book
BRUSHSTROKES OF MEMORY. A novel of love, lost memories and rediscovering dreams. On her thirty-second birthday, Rebecca is in high spirits and life could not be better personally and professionally. But in 2013, she wakes in hospital after a head injury and finds out that nearly a decade of her life has been erased from her memory. Now almost forty-two, she can’t remember anything after her thirty-second birthday, a decade fraught with changes she would never have anticipated – illness, infidelity, betrayal, separation and death – and the disintegration of many of her dreams. But if Rebecca can’t remember anything of nearly ten years, then could this be the chance for her to wipe the slate clean and start again?
