In The Rest is Memory, Hetherington examines heritage, history and kin, attesting to the impossibility of disengaging our personal stories from history as she criss-crosses between the US and South Africa. She reflects on the difficulty of extricating herself from a primal attachment to the land in which she was born, and to the significance of remembrance.
