These Nameless Things by Shawn Smucker
3.0
In a setting that feels both familiar and other-worldly, we learn Dan and the other villagers living near a mountain have few to no memories of life before, and when the time is right, someone might decide to head east.
However, the familiar is disrupted; memories are returning, and as they share, they learn there is a common denominator in what has kept them in the village for this long.
Dan has to decide what secrets are worth protecting and which ones are worth revealing. Themes of commitment, vulnerability, sacrifice, trust and forgiveness are within these pages. These Nameless Things is reminiscent of works like Pilgrim's Progress, Dante's Inferno, and The Great Divorce.
(I received a digital ARC from the publisher Revell via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)
