The Museum of Broken Promises by Elizabeth Buchan
5.0
What is special to the museum of broken promises is the explanations. In ours , it is you, the public , who do so. Our museum gives a voice to the people in a way that few other institutions provide.
I loved this book , I am always intrigued by sentimental value of objects and this book takes a new take on objects the fact some objects hold broken promises and this book explored Laures own broken promises with objects she had cept in the museum. This is a beautiful book and heartbreaking all at the same time. The fact I brought this book from a charity shop because I'm intrigued by objects and there meaning means I could enjoy this book knowing someone donated it for there own reasons for someone else to love it.
Extract from the book which I loved :
Every seven to fifteen years, the cells in the body were replaced , bine , skin , liver. The lot. Having read about it in a scientific journal , Laure was cheered because it suggested renaissance and renewal were possible. But it also ment she was walking around with every cell in her body replenished and he would be too.
