520    Memory, the narrator of Petina Gappah's The Book of Memory,
       is an albino woman languishing in Chikurubi Maximum 
       Security Prison in Harare, Zimbabwe, after being sentenced
       for murder. As part of her appeal, her lawyer insists that
       she write down what happened as she remembers it. The 
       death penalty is a mandatory sentence for murder, and 
       Memory is, both literally and metaphorically, writing for 
       her life. As her story unfolds, Memory reveals that she 
       has been tried and convicted for the murder of Lloyd 
       Hendricks, her adopted father. But who was Lloyd 
       Hendricks? Why does Memory feel no remorse for his death? 
       And did everything happen exactly as she remembers?
