The Museum of Forgotten Memories

By: Anstey Harris

Narrated by: Tania Rodrigues

At Hatters Museum of the Wide Wide World, where the animals never age but time takes its toll, one woman must find the courage to overcome the greatest loss of her life in this “beautifully written and engrossing novel” (Jacqueline Ward, author of Perfect Ten).

Four years after her husband Richard’s death, Cate Morris is let go from her teaching job and unable to pay rent on the London flat she shares with her son, Leo. With nowhere else to turn, they pack up and venture to Richard’s ancestral Victorian museum in the small town of Crouch-on-Sea.

Despite growing pains and a grouchy caretaker, Cate begins to fall in love with the quirky taxidermy exhibits and sprawling grounds, and she makes it her mission to revive them. But threats from both inside and outside the museum derail her plans and send her spiraling into self-doubt.

As Cate becomes more invested in Hatters, she must finally confront the reality of Richard’s death—and the role she played in it—in order to reimagine her future. Perfect for fans of Katherine Center and Evvie Drake Starts Over.

Just so so good! An easy read with great twists, love of history …

Loved all of it! Wonderful characters and beautiful descriptions and if you love museums this is a super fast and good read !

Beautiful and moving:)

A story about loss and hope and healing:) it’s also very whimsical and beautiful:) it deals with grief, mental illness, romantic love and the challenges and joys of motherhood, all set in an idyllic British country house/ museum:) lovely:)

A lovely surprise

I had never heard of this author or narrator, but after devouring my first listen, “Goodbye Paris”, I dove right into another. The story lines are twisty, but so very transparently every “man’s” human experience. I found both books addicting, difficult to break from. Sadly, there is not another book to choose with this author/narrator team, but I searched Tania Rodrigues, and I’ll visit her with other authors. As for Anstey Harris, I have another one of her books lined up next. I highly recommend both of the books I have mentioned here.
