The Things We Keep is a moving and heartbreaking love story by Sally Hepworth.

Just because you can't remember, doesn't mean you can't love . . .

Anna Forster is thirty-eight years old and has started to suffer from the early stages of Alzheimer's. She knows that her family is doing what they believe to be best when they take her to an assisted living facility. But best can still hurt. What she also knows is that there's just one other resident her age at the facility – Luke.

As her disease steals more and more of her memory, Anna fights to hold on to all that's left. What remains are her feelings for Luke. Before long the pair fall in love, despite the forces that are set against them.

But when a tragic incident occurs, Luke and Anna's families decide to separate them. There is one person at the facility who can help the pair, but only if she's willing to risk everything for them . . .

The underlying story was ok, but various aspects made it unbearable, like the lack of understanding Anna’s family had towards her feelings or intentions when she was still in the earlier stages of her dementia. Also Eve’s seeming ignorance towards her daughters needs in and out of school so soon after her father had left. On top of all that, the narrator’s ‘east London’ accent was anything but. Rather it was an appalling mix of various accents which made it difficult to like Eve or take her character seriously.

Awful ‘London’ accent and unbelievable care home practices
