Somehow it's June already and we're back with another episode of Shared Pages. May's book was an Ian pick, and he chose Yoko Ogawa's: The Memory Police.

The Memory Police takes place on an unknown island where people periodically forget things such as ribbons, perfume, and so on. However, some people seem to remember things that should have been forgotten and so a mysterious and sinister organization comes and takes those who remember. When the unnamed narrator-a novelist-discovers that her editor, "R" is one of these people who remember things, she decides to hide him. Along with a family friend known only as The "Old Man", they attempt to hold on to what has been forgotten all while navigating what it means to lose memories and even pieces of themselves.

We really enjoyed The Memory Police and we hope you enjoy our discussion of the novel! Next month is Ronnie's pick. For Pride, she's chosen, A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft!
