Memory Wall

I enjoyed  this collection of short stories Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr with the stories having the theme, memory.  Each story is beautifully crafted and gives the reader something to think about.  Memory is essential to us all and the author's stories emphasise its importance.  My favourite was Village 113 which shows what happens to a village that must make way for a dam.  The village will disappear, but will the memories be maintained?  4/5
