A bittersweet Comedy Drama. Ian Greef always had issues with his parents - the main one being that they aren't. Settled for many years at the other end of the country, out of the blue he gets a call to arms; he has to care for his mother, who now has Alzheimer's, while his father is in hospital. Over the course of a week 'back home', secrets gradually come out that make him reassess his views on family life, and come to terms with his own shortcomings as a son and father. 10/10 - Independent review by review-world: 'Matchbox Memories instantly stands apart from the crowd.' 'A stunner of a début novel.' 'Matchbox Memories is most definitely one of the best page-turners you are likely to come across in recent years' '...both daringly honest, whilst at the same time heart-warmingly beautiful.'
