Bone Memories

De: Sally Piper

Narrado por: Helen O'Leary

Even though 16 years have passed, Billie will never recover from the murder of her daughter, Jess, and clings to her memory—and the site of her death—like a life raft.

Daniel, who was a toddler when his mother was killed, can recall little of what happened but knows if he’s to have any chance of a better future he needs to move on from that defining event—if only his grandmother would let him.

Meanwhile Daniel’s stepmother, Carla, also feels trapped by Jess’s legacy but has a plan that she believes will help everyone to escape from the long shadow of the past.

Deeply human, evocative and beautifully written, Bone Memories explores themes of human connection and the memorialisation of place.

Human connection to land and nature

Beautiful narrative about human connection to land and nature. It was a sad story about grief and family. The story kept me engaged, A piece of fiction but was totally believable and one which I could relate to.
