Bookseller Notes

'This book is the record of a collection gathered by my mother over many years from silverware owned by women close to her as well as a collection of memories I began to assemble when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As the pages of this book are turned and time passes by, my memories will fade, as my mother's did.' (Dedication). A beautfully produced evocative work, combining the tangible silver, gold and tarnished cutlery, so crisply delineated they appear 3-dimensional, with the elusive nature of memory - 'Recuerdo las fresas en mi pastel de cumpleaos' (I remember the strawberries on my birthday cake), 'Recuerdo rerme sin razn' (...laughing for no reason), 'Recuerdo la oscuridad del mar' (...the darkness of the sea); the final poignant line: 'Recuerdo porque no quiero olvidar' (I remember because I don't want to forget).
