}}

When Gregory receives a letter from an ageing actress requesting his presence, he takes the only sensible action: he hops on a plane to Switzerland to visit her home. Whilst there, she reveals a multi-layered story that helps him understand more about his parents' life, and by association, his life.

A couple of minor quibbles aside, ''Maybe They'll Remember Me'' makes for a good read. There are hefty slices of soap opera and family saga, without ever being too harrowing. It's light enough to read easily, if you're looking to be taken out of yourself for a few hours, yet sufficiently well-written to never veer towards trashy. Most importantly, you care about the characters and their lives. You hope that, whatever life-changing events get thrown at them, they're able to find some sense of happiness.
