Publisher's Summary
In a society that loses its collective memory, one girl remembers everything.
The beloved author of Rook, Sharon Cameron, takes listeners by storm with her brilliant foray into science fiction.
Seventeen-year-old Nadia lives in Canaan, a quiet city in an idyllic world, hemmed in by high walls that are constructed of a material no one in her town recognizes. Every 12 years the people of Canaan undergo a collective Forgetting; in the days before, the town devolves into a chaos of bloody violence, and afterward the people are left without any trace of memory of themselves, their families, their lives.
Nadia has never forgotten, however. As the next Forgetting approaches, Nadia is determined to find out what causes it and whether there is any way to stop it. With the help of Gray, the glassblower's handsome son, she discovers that there is a devious plot afoot, one that keeps the people of Canaan permanently subdued. Will Nadia be able to solve the mystery before the people forget the truth? And before Gray forgets her?
A remarkable story of memory and loss, love and indomitable courage.

The story deserves 6 stars!
I don't have many hard copies of books anymore, but this one, I have. The story is very unique and keeps your interest throughout.
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? 🤷♀️
