A lost memory. A mysterious sketchbook. A city full of secrets. See You in Memories is a lyrical journey through loss, art, and self-rediscovery. Billie, once an online music sensation, is found unconscious and amnesic, clutching a sketchbook of Hong Kong's streets. Following her own drawings, she retraces a city she no longer remembers, blurring the lines between past and present, reality and imagination, until she uncovers the truth of who she is.
A once promising singer-songwriter is found unconscious on the street with only a sketchbook full of drawings of Hong Kong, sending her on a profound journey as she rediscovers what she's lost and what is to come. Billie once basked in the spotlight as an internet singer-songwriter until her fame faded and her songs drew only harsh criticism. Urged by her father to give up her "star dream," she fled home in a storm of emotion. Three years later, she wakes up and discovers she was found unconscious on the street with no memory of her disappearance, clinging to a sketchbook filled with evocative drawings of Hong Kong's streetscapes. As Billie retraces the vivid locations within her sketches, she embarks on a profound, otherworldly journey through memory and place--seeking not just what she has lost, but who she has become. This slipcase edition includes both See You In Memories and a reproduction of Billie's sketchbook, inviting readers to follow her through her Hong Kong.Author Biography
