While "Memory" is marketed as fiction, the depiction of characters and events is so real, so believable that it reads as memoir. The narrator's family, as constituted after the war - 2 parents and himself , is the remains of two couples and a child before the war. During the war, one husband served as a soldier who died in combat, one wife and her child were set off to a concentration camp. One husband and one wife slipped into unoccupied France and rode out the war. The secrets and betrayals during the war are told to the narrator in his teens by a family friend. This aspect of the story fits a classic coming-of-age story for a nominally Catholic, historically Jewish, boy in post-war France. But the book is more - it presents another view of the Jewish experience of the war, those who fled to safety at enormous cost.
