The article is an attempt to denote the aspect that memory shapes the present existence. It takes interest in how the chief protagonist in Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel, A Pale View of Hills, makes an attempt to reorder her self in terms of establishing a permanent and coherent identity by narrating the past events. Daniel L.Schacter, deduces: “Extensively rehearsed and elaborated memories come to form the core of our life stories - narratives of self that help us define and understand our identity and our place in the world” (Schacter 299). These elements have been predominant markers that remain central to the primary texts by Kazuo Ishiguro. In the novel, the chief protagonist, Etsuko uses her memory to overcome loss and reorder her self. Narration is the only source for Etsuko as she attempts to order her self. However the past cannot be changed and it is only through her narration that she orders her life as it is and by which subsequently she gains an ordered existence
