Emily's Hampstead Heath Walking Book Club - November - The Wilderness

In this haunting and skilful debut novel, Booker Prize winner Samantha Harvey explores the contradictions and unreliability of memory through her character Jake, an architect in his 60s, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. As we journey through a kaleidoscope of Jake’s reflections on life, love, hopes and regrets, we explore his tangled past in a story that is both disorienting and revealing. An extraordinary and surprisingly buoyant exploration of a devastating disease.
