Every 12 years, all of the people in Cannaan lose their memories and must recreate them from journals that are bound to them with string. Nadia is the only one who remembers and the only one who knows that the journals are not really true. Filled with complex ideas and fascinating questions about how memories create who we are, The Forgetting is a story to remember.

Write yourself a note or bookmark this review so you can look for this novel in the YA section next time you’re at Rediscovered Books or another independent bookstore.
NWBL possesses a first edition copy of The Forgetting along with a super cool limited edition journal with the book cover embossed on the front! The first reader to leave a comment on this Rediscovered Books’ Face Out will own it, courtesy of Scholastic Press.
This looks like an interesting read but as a UK reader I’m not sure I’ll get my hands on a copy..?
Holy moly, Lisa, you have us fair and square on a Book Lovers technicality, and we’re thrilled! However did you start following NWBL?
Hi! I’m an avid reader and follow readers across the globe. We’re part of a reading challenge for the year and I think your page must have come up. I love reading a huge range of literature so always like to follow independent booksellers and publishers. I like being able to recommend more quirky texts.
