The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron 403 pages
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?
