Stephen Provost’s story Memorality is an interesting adventure of life, death, and the possibility of bring back those you love. 

At first, the opening chapter did not make sense to me, but when I moved on to the next few chapters and the further in I got, I realized how the first chapter was an integral part of the story. The plot seemingly follows a young woman named Minerva and the struggles she has in life after a car accident which took away the one person who loved her. But after finishing the story and reflecting, I think the main character may have been “Carson,” who had been there from the beginning. 

The story takes a lot of twists and turns which was unexpected, and I love. I like not  having a clue as to what is about to happen. What I walked away with after reading this is that we are all connected. in life and in death. We never stop loving people after they have left this earth and that our story with them can intertwine thru the ages.  I enjoyed the section about the “Between” and that the person creates their space there. I enjoyed following a young man named Raven to his “Between” which had elements of Hansel and Gretel. That was fun to see unfold. 

I feel that if you like the show “Stranger Things” you are going to like this. It’s not as dark, but there are some elements that are familiar.  I think this book an excellent read for anyone who enjoys  mystery and paranormal. This is not a “chick” book so your son or any male in your life will like this read too.
