About this ebook
Mary is struggling with her memory. She does not have too few recollections but too many. Events from the past keep resurfacing, and she even has memories that don't relate to reality. She recounts the lives of her and her friends growing up in York during The Blair Years. Tensions rise over the Iraq War, and they find themselves out of their depth in the protest movement. As they grow up, they follow very different paths, coming into conflict with each other and the changing fortunes of the nation. All the while, Mary questions what she understands to be real, both in history and in her own life. What is she if not the sum of her memories? But what if she can no longer trust them?
