Freetown, Sierra Leone, 1969. On a hot January evening that he will
remember for decades, Elias Cole first catches sight of Saffia Kamara,
the wife of a charismatic colleague. He is transfixed.
Thirty
years later, lying in the capital's hospital, he recalls the desire that
drove him to acts of betrayal he has tried to justify ever since.
Elsewhere in the hospital, Kai, a gifted young surgeon, is desperately
trying to forget the pain of a lost love that torments him as much as
the mental scars he still bears from the civil war that has left an
entire people with terrible secrets to keep. It falls to a British
psychologist, Adrian Lockheart, to help the two survivors, but when he
too falls in love, past and present collide with devastating
consequences.
The Memory of Love is a heartbreaking story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
