If I had to describe this book in two words it would be unsettling and meditative. Don't let that short description put you off to this spectacular dystopian novel though. The Memory Police was originally published before I was born, but was recently translated to English in 2019. It had caught my eye on a few different reading lists because I am a lover of dystopian fiction, so when I saw it at the library, I figured I would give it a try. I don't know where I would even begin with writing a summary for this book. There are so many different storylines and themes that I would want to talk about, but I don't know how to do that without spoilers. I encourage you to google this title to get the official "blurb" and then give it a chance if it sparks your interest.
