Every decade seems to produce a novel that captures the public’s imagination with a story that sweeps readers up and takes them on a thrilling, unforgettable ride.
The Memory of Running is this decade’s novel. By all accounts, especially his own, Smithson Ide is a loser.
An overweight, friendless, chain-smoking, forty-three-year-old drunk.
Smithy’s life becomes completely unhinged when he loses his parents and long-lost sister within the span of one week.
