memories are hard, lack of memories harder...

This book, "The Memory Palace" by Mira Bartok was so, so good.  This a memoir, a wonderfully written, yet heartbreaking way for Mira to show her mother that in order to keep on loving her, she had to abandon her.

Mira and her sister both decided that in order to break away from their schizophrenic mother, they had to change their names and move away with no forwarding address.  Mira does keep a post office box where her mother writes letters and Mira keeps in contact when she can.

There is so much to love about this book.   Read it...and then tell me what you think!
