NOTES FROM THE LOST PROPERTY DEPARTMENT

324 pp., paperback, Johannesburg, 2015

A novel about a woman looking after her mother who suffers from dementia.

"The struggle to forget, or not; courage in small things - Bridget Pitt's new novel has found a voice for wounded memory. It's a searching voice, evoking from jumbled discards something that perhaps we've all lost...but which might still be found." Jeremy Cronin

Bridget Pitt was born in Zimbabwe in 1958. She grew up in Johannesburg and now lives in Cape Town. She is also the author of the novel, The Unseen Leopard.
