Summary
A heartbreakingly beautiful novel, The Memory Box unlocks an unforgettable epic story of love and war, from the million-copy-selling author of The Letter, Kathryn Hughes. If you adored The Nightingale, The Tuscan Contessa or My Name is Eva, this is the book for you.
Some love stories can't be forgotten....
Jenny Tanner opens the box she has cherished for decades. Contained within are her most precious mementoes, amongst them a pebble, a carving and a newspaper cutting she can hardly bear to read. But Jenny knows the time is finally here. After the war, in a mountainside village in Italy, she left behind a piece of her heart. However painful, she must return to Cinque Alberi. And lay the past to rest.
After a troubled upbringing, Candice Barnes dreams of a future with the love of her life - but is he the man she believes him to be? When Candice is given the opportunity to travel to Italy with Jenny, she is unaware the trip will open her eyes to the truth she's been too afraid to face. Could a place of goodbyes help her make a brave new beginning?

Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful story. I was late for work twice listening to this whilst walking the dog.
And also one of the best narrations I have heard on audible. Five stars all round.

Absolutely beautiful story, loved this book.
One of the best books that I have listened to in a while. Such a beautifully written story and the narrator was superb.
I have listened to all of Kathryn Hughs books and enjoyed them all, but this was the best.

This is what is called a belter!
I really enjoyed this book to the point of really not wanting it to finish , the story pulls you in and you are right there with the two main characters .The narrator handled the various languages so well. I recommend this book 100%
