Review: The Art of Remembering

The Art of Remembering by Alison Ragsdale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ever read a book you dont want to end? Well, this is one of those. I could not put it down and while I am not one to follow ballet, I not only learned a lot about the dance but actually enjoyed learning about it.

The story centers on Ailsa, a ballerina who finds out she has a brain tumor. Her husband, Evan, is always pushing her to be better at her dance and when Ailsa undergoes surgery with the possibility of many side effects - one of which is memory loss - he finds he is at a loss to help his wife. Of course he does all the manual help, like caring for her after surgery, but Ailsa finds there is one thing he can't help her with and that is the feelings she has about her dancing, her mental state and where she really wants to be this time in her life.

A very deep story that makes you think about what is in your heart and what you really want...not what the other person wants for you. A beautiful story.
