From beloved author of Rook comes a brilliant and genre-bending exploration of truth and memory, love and loss in this remarkable story of a civilization that undergoes a collective forgetting.
What isn't written, isn't remembered. Even your crimes. Nadia lives in the city of Canaan, where life is safe and structured, hemmed in by white stone walls and no memory of what came before. But every twelve years the city descends into the bloody chaos of the Forgetting, a day of no remorse, when each person's memories -- of parents, children, love, life, and self -- are lost. Unless they have been written.In Canaan, your book is your truth and your identity, and Nadia knows exactly who hasn't written the truth. Because Nadia is the only person in Canaan who has never forgotten.But when Nadia begins to use her memories to solve the mysteries of Canaan, she discovers truths about herself and Gray, the handsome glassblower, that will change her world forever. As the anarchy of the Forgetting approaches, Nadia and Gray must stop an unseen enemy that threatens both their city and their own existence -- before the people can forget the truth. And before Gray can forget her.
©2016 Sharon Cameron (P)2016 Scholastic Inc.The narrator does a good job too. I wasn't sure at first, because in the sample, the narrator sounded a bit weird to me. But I've listened to other books read by this narrator. So I gave it a go and I'm glad I did 👍 (The scene in the sample sounds a bit weird, because I think the narrator is trying for a 'whisper' voice there, because Nadia was hiding in that scene.)
The other book, The knowing, is a really good story too. (Yup, I got a hard copy of that one too!) But the Audible-sample is putting me a bit off for that one too and I don't think I've listened to that narrator yet. Maybe, Audible has to look into their choice for those samples? Or maybe it's just me? 🤷♀️
The story deserves 6 stars!
