Memories

About the Book

It’s a short story written through a third person of a boy that grew up in an extended family in a colonial environment. While engaging in some recreational reading of a novel it triggered his own memories of his childhood. His thoughts and experiences were unfolded in no sequential order, but rather by random events and recollections. The story is shared in a puzzle like format that forces his audience to connect the pieces of his childhood in order to understand what he felt while growing up. The author incorporated many themes and imagery to share the puzzle of the unnamed character’s life and to vicariously experience it through his eyes.
