The Forgetting

De: Sharon Cameron

Narrado por: Thérèse Plummer

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.

Good Book!

I enjoyed this book, however the narrator whispered throughout most of it. It became annoying 5 minutes in.

It took some getting use to the narration style.<br />

I loved the book but the style of the narrator was distracting at first. But once the story pulled me in, it became a non-issue.

Amazing touching and detailed story

I was blown away by this story. The narration was excellent and the storytelling absolutely captivating.

Intriguing

I haven’t experienced an intriguing journey in reading since The Hunger Games came on the scene. I found myself curiously obsessed with what would happen next.

Hang on, read this

I read all these reviews about the narrator basically whispering the whole time and was sceptical. Guys. The girl in the book barely talks, that's a standard thinking-in-my-head voice.
I thought she did an amazing job and I loved it, the suspense kept me listening to it constantly.
Only thing I didn't love, that kept it at 4 🌟 for me was the ending. I don't know, it just seemed to tied up and predictable compared to the tone of the rest of the book.
