Sinopsis

A dozen stories featuring characters aged 4 to 94, each dealing in some way with how and why our memories shape our current crises. Included in the collection: in the days just after World War II, a young girl tries to remember the man being introduced to her as her father, an academic denied tenure remembers how to land on her feet, a couple on their way to divorce think about the things that once drew them together and then drove them apart, an elderly man struggles to recall where the bathroom is and why his wife has been replaced by a stranger, a newly widowed grandmother remembers the joy of finger painting and answering to no one, and the title story, in which a great-grandmother proves that you never forget how to make a bicycle go even if you may need a crash course in how to stop one.á
