A haunting, beautifully written novel about memory, loss, and the quiet dignity of a life lived on the margins.
 
When Wynn, an elderly woman living on the streets of London, is mugged and left injured, her past begins to unravel through fragments of memory. As she pieces together her story — her childhood in wartime Malta, her family’s betrayals, and the tragedies that shaped her — the truth of how she came to be forgotten emerges in heartbreaking clarity.
 
In Remember Me, Trezza Azzopardi, author of the Booker Prize–shortlisted The Hiding Place, offers an intimate and lyrical portrait of identity and survival. Told through Wynn’s fractured recollections, the novel explores the fragility of memory and the lingering echoes of trauma.
Azzopardi’s prose is spare yet deeply affecting, capturing both the isolation of homelessness and the inner richness of a life largely unseen. The story unfolds with quiet power, revealing how moments of kindness and cruelty shape the course of a lifetime.
 
Both elegiac and redemptive, Remember Me is a profound meditation on love, loss, and the human need to be known — even at the end of everything.
