A haunting Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance, from your acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Teacher.
With an unnamed island away an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses-until things become much more serious. A lot of the island’s inhabitants are oblivious to these adjustments, while those few imbued with the power to remember the dropped about The Storage Police: A Book objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Law enforcement, who are focused on ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten.
When a young girl who is struggling to keep up her career like a novelist discovers that her editor is in peril from the Memory Police, she concocts a plan to cover up him under her floorboards. As fear and reduction close in around them, they cling to her writing as the last way of conserving the past.
