Do You Remember?

A mystery illness, the 'ghost bug', is sweeping across the globe causing dementia-like symptoms. Soon the ghost bug hits Britain and most of the population becomes infected. With an end to law and order, Stuart, living outside Oxford, realises that his only chance of survival is to make for a safer location and decides to take his dementia-affected parents to his brother's secluded home outside Tamworth. Thirty years later, the ghost bug is still at large, the human population drastically reduced. Sickened by contamination, Stuart continues to eke out an existence. As he approaches the end of his life, he dreams of a return home. Forced to flee from violent attackers, he meets a couple and a young street boy and the four of them make the harrowing journey together. Do You Remember? is both a thrilling drama and a thoughtful exploration of the effects of memory on human relationships and of the critical bond existing between us and our environment. It is Martin Pevsner's ninth novel.
