Description
Winner of the 2011 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book. In the capital hospital of a war-devastated Sierra Leone, a gifted young surgeon is plagued by demons. Elsewhere in the hospital lies a man who was young during the country's turbulent postcolonial years. As past and present intersect in the buzzing city, they are drawn unwittingly closer by a British psychiatrist, and into the path of one woman at the center of their stories. A work of extraordinary writing and rare wisdom, The Memory of Love seamlessly weaves together the lives of these three men to create a powerful story of loss, absolution, and the indelible effects of the past and, at the end of it all, the very nature of love. Spanish Description: ''No es amor. Es algo mas, algo con una fuerza que perdura. No es amor, sino una memoria del amor.'' El psicologo Adrian Lockheart desea escapar de su monotona vida en Inglaterra. Asi llega a Freetown, una ciudad africana azotada por la guerra civil y la represion, en la que debe luchar contra la intensidad del calor, la suciedad y el polvo, y los secretos de un pais que trata en vano de ponerse en pie. Tambien Kai Manseray, un joven colega en el hospital, esconde un secreto. Y Elias Cole, un anciano enfermo cuyos cuadernos guardan los recuerdos de su juventud y la historia de una obsesion: Saffia, la mujer que amo, y Julius, su carismatico y rebelde marido. Las vidas de los tres se entrelazan en esta novela extraordinaria que explora las consecuencias ineludibles de nuestros actos y la naturaleza misma del amor.
