A critically acclaimed and beautifully told, light but affecting story of one town whose inhabitants are overcome by memory - in all its joy, pain, love and regret. What if you could suddenly remember everything that ever happened to you? Would it be a blessing - or a curse? This is the fate of the residents of the town of Clarence, who fall under the spell of a strange and powerful drug that unlocks their memories. The past comes flooding back without the buffer of time, and the townspeople, young and old, find themselves awash in their own reminiscences - of love and death, of war and childhood, of happiness they've experienced and sins they've committed. Beautifully rendered with a light and comic touch, SPILLING CLARENCE is a beguiling exploration of our relationship with our histories, the seductive pull of regret, the unreliability of memory, and the bliss of forgetting.
