Initially, I was attracted to this book because of the title, The Memory of Love. Then, I read the synopsis, which conveys a story that is set in Sierra Leone near the civil war which ended in 2002. Intriguingly, this novel is not from a political perspective; rather it is written from a psychological and sociological lens. As someone who has Sierra Leonean heritage and a reader looking for African literature, this convinced me that this book was my next read. This novel is not a quick read and it is not for readers who do not like to unpack complicated plotlines or characters. However, if I you are willing to delve into the three main characters, you’re in for a promising literary experience.Author, Aminatta Forna, creates a plot centralized on three characters from different backgrounds. Dr. Adrian Lockhart is a British psychiatrist who leaves behind his wife and daughter in London abruptly and travels to Sierra Leone. Adrian believes that he can do some good in Sierra Leone; however, he becomes connected to the lives of his patients in ways he could never have anticipated. One of Adrian’s patients is Elias, an elderly white man, reflects on on his life. Elias speaks of his life in 1969 as an uninspired college lecturer and adulterer. Adrian first interprets this as Elias confessing his digressions before he dies, nevertheless, much more lies within these interactions. Forna uses Elias to invoke skepticism about who deserves sympathy and why. The third character is Kai, a native Sierra Leonean doctor who stays in Sierra Leone during the war. As a surgeon, Kai works hard to heal his patients physically yet he knows that many of them carry emotional ailments similar to his. Kai’s pain is indicative of what those who remain in Sierra Leone during the civil war endured.This novel is very Sierra Leonean. It encapsulates mannerisms, customs, identity, and the complex relationship with Sierra Leone, exhibited by Sierra Leoneans worldwide. Identity, a common theme in many African novels, is a large part of this novel. All of these characters in some way struggle with their identity and what role that plays in them living their best lives.The Memory of Love is not solely political as many African novels are expected to be. Aminatta Forna, the author of this amazing novel, in 2015 wrote an article for Literary Hub titled “Where Are the West’s Political Novelists?†Forna questions why western novelists don’t write books with political themes and why are they, as African writers are, not expected to? This is a leading argument in African literature and I love how this book defies the status quo by being just as much about personhood as it is about African identity. This book is for Sierra Leoneans, Africans, those interested in African literature, westerners, and frankly anyone who is literate.
Exact opposite of a page turner, more like a think piece... almost devotional in nature. Three men, three stories woven together, a woman of interest, and some wisdom about the psychological mess we call life and love. It took me a very long time to get through this and every time I wanted to call it quits, it would give me just a little more hope that it would finally pick up. It didn’t. I’d say it was underwhelming but not completely considering how many nuggets of wisdom it shared. Not obviously though. You certainly had to hunt for it. All this being said, it felt like a useful read and I’m happy I stuck through it.
This is a luminously beautiful novel. Set in Sierra Leone, it tells two parallel stories. One is the present-day story of an Engish psychiatrist who goes to Sierra Leone to help victims suffering from post-traumatic stress due to the horrors of that country's civil war. His other reason for going is to escape from an unhappy marriage. While there, he falls in love with a beautiful young woman from Sierra Leone. The other story is a story from Sierra Leone's past, as narrated by one of the English psychiatrist's elderly patients, Elias Cole. The past story also involves a love affair with a beautiful woman, but the narrator turns out to be an unreliable narrator. The past and present stories become interwoven.The novel is quite complex..I came away feeling it was wonderful but I didn't fully understand all the points she was making. The author is of Sierra Leonian descent and the events in the novel are loosely based on her own life story, so I assume the novel is highly authentic. . I felt like I would understand the novel better if I had more familiarity with her country. Nonetheless I enjoyed reading her novel, and I highly recommend it.
Brief summary and review, no spoilers.This story takes place in the African nation of Sierra Leone and takes place over a period of time starting in the late 1960's. One of the main characters is Elias Cole, an ambitious British professor who strives to become both published and respected. He finds himself friends of sorts with a man named Julius - also a fellow professor who is both popular with his students has a beautiful wife named Saffia. Elias becomes obsessed with Saffia at first sight, and his jealousy and mixed in with some affection for Julius become a central part of the story.The other main characters in this novel are a British man named Adrian who has come to Sierra Leone to work as a psychologist in a local hospital. Adrian is married and has a child still in England, but he is obviously dissatisfied with his work there and with his marriage, and feels the need to matter and feel some passion about what he does. The other central figure in this story is a native born doctor named Kai Manseray, who is an extremely bright and dedicated surgeon. Kei and Adrian become friends, when Kei starts staying at Adrian's home on occasions to sleep and make meals.The chapters alternate and we go back and forth in time, with alternating narrators and stories. We are taken through these incredibly turbulent and disturbing years in Sierra Leone, with all its violence and horror suffered by the people due to war and government instability. In fact at one point Adrian is told that most everyone in the country has post-traumatic stress syndrome - and their mental hospitals are filled with many such damaged individuals.More than just a story about these characters, this is also a story about Sierra Leone. I did not know very much about this country, but you do learn a lot by the time you turn the last page. Many characters in this novel love their homeland, yet we see the price they pay (and paid) for staying. In this story we also meet a woman, a patient of Adrian's named Agnes, who has a strange disorder that causes her to wander in a fugue-like stake, and over time we come to know her story, and why she is the way she is.What's very good about this book is the plot itself - in the parts that take place near the most present time, Elias Cole is dying and wants to tell his story to Adrian. We get the sense he is seeking some sort of absolution, but we won't find out why till the end. We also know from that Kei is a broken man who was once passionately in love with a woman named Nenebah, though we don't know what happened to her or what caused the end of their relationship.It's just a great story, and I found it very moving with a terrific resolution and denouement.In criticism, I believe that there were parts of the novel that were over-written - and at times the constant hints and sense of foreboding overwhelms the novel. It was just too much, and if anything trying to add the drama and sense of apprehension took away from the rest of the story. I truly think this novel could've been edited down and would have made for a better story.Even with this critique, I highly recommend this book and I know it will stay with me for a long time. This is not just because of the startling depiction of the horrors experienced during wartime, but also because this author has really come up with a terrific story with memorable and true-to-life characters.
