About this listen
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.

In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird - a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess.

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.

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.
