Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr

To help with her dementia, Alma has a wall covered with cartridges that can be read by a 'remote memory simulator'. But one of these memories holds the key to a valuable secret.

Cape Town, the near future.

The memory clinic cannot cure Alma Konachek's dementia, but it can slow it down and give her some of her memories back, captured on a series of cartridges and then retrieved on a device called a 'remote memory simulator'.

At home, Alma has a memory wall covered with these cartridges, along with hand-written notes and a photograph of her late husband, Harold, who was a keen fossil-hunter.

But Alma's memories are not just of interest to her.
