I was reading some of the old articles for beginner solvers in the Guardian

(https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2012/jul/05/cryptic-crossword-beginners-backwards-clues)

But I'm so stumped at the explanation for this clue:

>

"where >!the last five letters are reversed!< for the memorable answer >!MEMOIR!<"

I don't understand which letters it's talking about and now this clue is stuck in my head like a brainworm. Can anyone help?

(edit: sorry, realised the actual clue wasn't included when I first posted. Fixed now)
