The Woman Who Can't Forget: The Extraordinary Story of Living with the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science

Price has spent the last eight years working with scientists to better understand her extraordinary memory. Since the early 1980s, she has experienced a total recall memory that allows her instantaneously to retrieve what she has done on any day of any year. The most interesting elements of this book come when Price explains how her memory works differently than normal people's, and how that difference plays itself out in her self-understanding. However, the narrative of her personal life is a bit drab. Celeste Ciulla reads with a soft expressive voice that matches the text well. Whenever discussing past events, Price insists on including the dates, reinforcing the power of her memory. These dates collectively take up a significant amount of time in the audiobook. Ciulla's perceptive take on this constant date-listing is to utter them in a rote tone, infusing Price's words with a hint of obsessive compulsion. A Free Press hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 24).
