INDIGO RECOMMENDS: Remember the first time you read The Glass Castle? The family was colourful and unusual, the spirit of the story magical and forgiving and the author’s voice so convincing you couldn’t wait to share your discovery with a friend. Books that have this impact appear infrequently. With the publication of her family history in Memory Palace, Mira Bartók makes a welcome addition to such unforgettable life stories. This is a family memoir about the indelible bonds between a mother suffering from mental illness and the daughters that never stop caring for her. It is a remarkable and heartbreaking study of artistic expression, inheritance, responsibility and how we create and rely upon memories. And, it is beautifully written. | The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
