"The nine stories in Unforgettable are about the presence of the past, the power of memory, and the enduring nature of love. They follow Miriam Batson, the protagonist of Paulette Alden's earlier collection, Feeding the Eagles, into middle age, as she navigates the suicide attempt of one of her college students; the death of a beloved maid from her childhood; the shock and anger of a job rejection possibly due to sex discrimination; and the sudden death of her father. Five of the stories track Miriam's efforts to stave off putting her mother in a nursing home, as her mother succumbs to Alzheimer's. Anyone who has experienced such a situation will relate to the poignancy, guilt, and sometimes painful humor involved in caring for a failing parent."--Page 4 of cover.

I liked the theme but the Miram this and Miram that got to me after a while. I think this story could have been better if it was done in first person. That's really my biggest complaint. I think Paulette wanted to write this in first person but didn't really know how. The book read like a memoir or an autobiography and I wouldn't be surprised if this book wasn't really a thinly fictionalized account of someone's real life. ( )
