The Story of Forgetting by Stefan Merrill Block: Allen and Unwin
The Story of Forgetting by Stefan Merrill Block: Allen and Unwin
A heart-breaking, multi-stranded novel about love, loss, family and so much more.At seventy, Abel is a hermit, resigned to memories of the family he has lost. Hundreds of miles away, in suburban Austin, fifteen year old Seth is devastated when his mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Though neither one knows of the other’s existence, Seth and Abel share a unique tradition: as children, both were told stories of Isadora, a fantastical land free from the sorrows of memory. Spanning continents and generations, The Story of Forgetting is the tale of how loss, however devastating, can ultimately forge profound meaning.

Hello Booktaggers,
We think free books are great, we've been very grateful for the free books we've received from Publishers. I hope you are too :). If you've received a free book please write a review for it. We all want to know what you thought of the book (and it was a condition of receipt).
To write a review hover over the book and select Book info. Then on the Books profile page select Write a review from the menu next to the book image.
I look forward to hearing what you think of the books you've been reading lately.
Kind Regards,
Jeremy
