What We Remember is set along two alternating timelines, not quite ten years, when the discovery of a missing dead body brings past events back to the surface.

This is perhaps Ford's most accomplished book as a piece of writing but it was also somehow the one I perhaps enjoyed the least. What he has gained in polish, he has I think lost in passion.

This is perhaps due to the way he so carefully dishes out information throughout the book (something is hinted at in a "present" chapter before being narrated and explained in the followed "past" chapter); a restraint and holding back of information that becomes a little tedious in the end.

And talking of the end, it felt a little anti-climactic.
