Memory will forever and always be a factor of haunting whether good or bad. In Alias Grace, Grace was haunted by her lack of memory, many details of events becoming construed until truths were lost and realities warped. There is a similar theme in Never Let Me Go except Kathy is simply haunted by her fragmented memories that allow her to hold onto everything and everyone she’s lost. These memories leave other characters ambiguous because we only see reflections of them throughout her detailing of past events. The more often we call up a memory, the more the details are changed because we’re often editing the memory each time we recall it. It becomes like a game of telephone until the memory is warped all together. But to us, it’s nothing but the truth. So while we. alongside Kathy. may often question the reliability of these memories to her they are also truthful. Same with Grace’s memories. She began reciting what she knew, what she didn’t, and what she believed so often that the details became the truth. That’s the power of memory. It’s fragile but it is also our truth.
