Synopsis
“Beryl Bainbridge, Muriel Spark, and Graham Greene all come to mind, but Azzopardi’s style is all her own.”—Chicago Tribune New York Times Editors’ Choice, the breathtaking third novel from Booker Prize finalist and national best-selling author Trezza Azzopardi is at once a powerful love story and an intricately plotted mystery that explores the staying power of family and memory, and the pull of unlikely but destined romance. For twenty years Lewis has been haunted by his brother’s death. Try as he might to escape this tragedy, the ghost of Wayne confronts him at every turn. When he meets Anna, a young woman who is also haunted—by her loud and carefree mother, Rita, who just so happens to be very much alive—Lewis is pulled into a world of carousing, music hall turns, and cocktails as he searches for the person he believes responsible for the death of his brother. Against the backdrop of the Norfolk coast with its massive skies and relentless seas, Anna and Lewis slowly learn to trust each other and accept that an uncertain future can be as wild and alluring as the landscape they have grown to love.

Review
"What an entrance . . . wherever Azzopardi has been hiding, it has been worth the wait."
"A mesmerizing meditation on loss itself and the subjectivity of perception." -- Catherine Lockerbie
"Dazzling . . . Trezza Azzopardi's characters are so sharply drawn that they bite." -- Christina Schwarz
"Gorgeously written, keenly and sympathetically observed: a chiller with a human face." -- Cathleen Medwick
"A harrowing and remarkably self-assured first novel [by an author of] copious and galvanic talents." -- Michiko Kakutani
"[Azzopardi] writes with such poetry and urgency. . . . She gives a voice to one whom the world has dismissed as unworthy." -- Elizabeth Gold
"Remember Me swirls from one shocking revelation to another, until its chilling, jaw-dropping resolution. . . . Could be the most unforgettable book of the year." -- Robert Allen Papinchak
