Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Last Summer (of You and Me) comes an imaginative, inspired, magical book - a love story that lasts more than a lifetime.

Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together - and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short.

Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present-day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together.

From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.

A magical, suspenseful, heartbreaking story of true love, My Name is Memory proves the power and endurance of a union that was meant to be.

Fabulouss read

I love this book, I've read it twice! I think it would make a wonderful movie!

I LIke this book

If you enjoyed The Time Travelers Wife and books in that vein, you may enjoy this book. I really liked it. I think I will listen to it more than once.

Loved it!

Great story! Loved the characters and I did not want the story to end.

WHAAAAAT!!

This book started a little slow but it took me a while to find another book that I could even close to get into so I committed, and I was so glad I did. I laughed quite a bit and it was suspenseful! I never cried but that's okay. I loved every bit of this book (besides the lack of communication, how frustrating) until THE END!!! How can it end like that with no sequel! THAT makes me want to cry! I am going to be wondering for the rest of my life how this ended!

end leaves soooo much to be desired. juicy read

loved it all tge way till the end and when it was over i screamed in horror hahahahahaha you can tell she wants to squeeze out a sequel but still.

Excellent Read

Loved this book, very well done in all areas! I didn't want to put it down.

An Entertaining Love Story

In the first minutes of this book I didn't have any hope for it; I thought it was another easy romance. When you really connect to the story and you start imagining their worlds and phases ... it blows your mind. This is a truly wonderful novel; if you really try to understand their point of view you will be amazed. Give it a try!
I can listen to it more than 2 times and I don't get bored, because it has some suspense and drama in it. I'm waiting for the sequel as it is supposed to be a trilogy. Thumbs up!

My Name is Memory (Unabridged)

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of detail and brought you right into the story. It made you feel the feelings in the book. The test of a good writer. It is definately a love story. The ending certainly left the possibility for a sequel. I hope and look forward to a sequel. This a combination of "Time Traveler's Wife" and "The Outlander." As Ann Barshares matures in her writings of Adult Novels, I think she will become one of my favorite authors. I hope she sticks with including lots of details in her stories and takes the time needed to produce quality novels. Many authors are mass producting novels that are short, fast reads, but miss the richness or substance of this novel. I look forward to reading more of her books.

A book that will span hundreds of lifetimes

Absolutely loved the Audio version. The contrast of Male and Female voices in adhering fashion; splendid.

My Name is Memory
