A science fiction story set in future New Zealand. Memories are now currency – people write their memories onto coins and trade them: a commonplace, frequent memory for everyday purchases, the more unique and different a memory, the more precious. The main character, Rosemary, is a collector - she takes care of a library of memories which has been curated by her family for generations.
This one had a really good premise, and the theme of memories and what makes us what we are is a fascinating one. Rosemary was also an interesting main character. In the end, though, this wasn't one of my favourites from Octavia Cade. This was her first published novella, and I wasn't sure how I felt about the ending, it didn't really work for me. The other novellas I've read from her had more of my particular interests in them. Out of the three novellas I've read, my favorite is still A Convergence of Fairy Tales (fairy tales), then Don't Girls (fairytales, myth, and historical women), and only then Trading Rosemary. But your results may vary by your interests.
