The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
3.0
3.5 stars!
This book had such an interesting, unique subject that I knew I had to read it. I don't regret that decision one bit!
This is a story of reincarnation, love, and life. Noah is four years old and know things that he just shouldn't - he also suffers from terrible nightmares, where he is drowning, and asks his Mother, Janie, often when his "other mama" is coming and stating he wants to go home. His mother is at the end of her rope.
Enter our second perspective, Dr. Anderson, who has spent his life investigating cases of reincarnation himself. Dr. Anderson has just received news of his failing mind, aphasia, and is more desperate than ever to finish his work and publish his book.
Janie stumbles upon Anderson's work, makes contact, and voila... our story takes off.
Containing both a mystery and a new idea (at least to me), this book had me turning the pages (when I could find time to read!). It held my interest and made me feel for the characters. I won't give spoilers - I'll just leave it at this: if you have even a slightly open mind and enjoy a nicely written story, pick this one up.
