Ratings and reviews

A very good read for a complex choice of a mother and neuroscientist. The question in regards to reality of life and hardship that is presented to a fetus whose mind is too young to inherit such memories. What consequences could happen from such exposure at an age that is naive.

I love how short stories can introduce and tackle deep ideas in a thorough way. The Weight of Memories is no different. Meaningful and impactful, this story is thought provoking, touching and moving. I was intrigued by the thought of an unborn child with memories, but was taken by surprise with the direction the story took. I highly recommend this very short story.
