The group of six short stories is unified around a central theme of remembrance, as the title of the collection suggests. In all of the stories but one, the memories of a female character are evoked--a character who looks back in time, either to childhood or to the more recent past, to recall an event which was crucial in her life, an event which changed her. In each of these five stories, the speaker is a mature adult; however, in the sixth, "Fern James and the Kid," the story is told by an observer of the main character(s). The setting (and voice) in these stories is most often that of small-town southern Indiana.
