Description A haunting Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance, from the acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor .
On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses--until things become much more serious.
Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory.
