The Forgetting Time
Synopsis
When I wasn't reading Sharon Guskin's The Forgetting Time, I was itching to return to it' Jodi Picoult
Noah is four and wants to go home. The only trouble is he's already there.
Janie's son is her world, and it breaks her heart that he has nightmares.
That he's terrified of water.
That he sometimes pushes her away and screams that he wants his real mother.
That it's getting worse and worse and no one seems to be able to help.
In desperation, she turns to someone who might have an answer - but it may not be one she's ready to hear.
It may also mean losing the one thing she loves more than anything.
Noah.
A novel that spans life, death and everything in between, The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin, and read by Susan Bennett and David Pittu, tells an unforgettable story - about Noah, about love, and, above all, about the things we hold onto when we have nothing else

“When I wasn't reading The Forgetting Time, I was itching to return to it. And when I was reading it, my mind was exploding with questions about what's possible, what's probable, and how our lives are caught between the two. Provocative, evocative, and fresh, Guskin's book is an explosive debut”Jodi Picoult
“A beautiful tale of the bond between a mother and her young son as well as a gripping mystery . . . Reading The Forgetting Time becomes a personal journey as you try to remember all that you've forgotten”Diane Chamberlain
“Sharon Guskin's debut is the literary equivalent of the sensation you get when, after stargazing from some hillside on a clear night, you're suddenly hit with the terrifying and exhilarating scope of the unknowable. A truly remarkable, dizzying and exquisite page-turner”Téa Obreht
“What if what you did mattered more because life happened again and again, consequences unfolding across decades and continents? . . .
