In "Marley's Memoir," a poignant narrative unfolds as a mother recounts both her own experiences and those of her late son. The book is artfully divided, with initial chapters providing insight into Marley's world, followed by the maternal perspective. This structure allows for a deeply intimate understanding of both Marley and his mother, enriching the emotional landscape of the text. Interestingly, it was a segment focusing on the aftermath of Marley's passing that struck me as the most emotionally resonant. Majendi Jarrett's literary prowess shines throughout, lending credence and depth to our understanding of Marley as a fully realised character. Kathryn McLeer, The International Review of Books
