She’s a specialist on memory, but what has she chosen to forget?
Our memories are rarely a perfect reflection of events and as an expert in eye witness testimony, Dr Amanda Dunstan should know. She’s well aware of the errors and biases in our recall.
When her book on memory gains publicity, she’s thrilled to win some recognition for her work. But then a friend from her pasts reappears, bringing with her a story of an incident with life-changing consequence. An event that Amanda had elected to forget.
Driven by her need to atone for her past behaviour, Amanda moves into a far removed from her middle-class existence, ultimately breaking the laws she previously upheld in order to help her friend.
But whose memory can she trust?
