This story The Memory Tree by Tess Evans is a fairly sombre tale. It is set in Melbourne beginning in the 1930s when Hal marries the beautiful Paulina. They have two children, Zav and Sealie. At first the reader is unsure who the narrator is but gradually it becomes obvious that "something terrible" is going to happen and the narrator is revealed. It is a poignant story of love and grief which takes us up to 1997 when Hal seeks redemption. Sealie has held the family together for many years and finally has a choice about what to do with her life. It is difficult to say too much without revealing the pivotal events in the story. 31/2/5Saturday, July 28, 2012
