My Name Is Memory: A Book Review
A novel written by Ann Brashares, this story is a heartbreaking romance about living and dying with only one purpose.. and that is to love her. A book that explains reincarnation and the power to alter one’s destiny.. to make amends and to make memories.. forever.
This is a good read.. a page turner.. and with heartbreaking turn-outs.. I still can’t decide if I’m satisfied with the ending though.. but one thing I could assure you of, no one died.. not permanently at least. Daniel and Lucy’s lives were left unfinished.. and I wanted to read more.. Surely, a second book would be a great idea. Read and tell me what you think. This is a great book.. one I am proud to have on my shelves.
Book Excerpt: I have lived more than a thousand years. I have died countless times. I forget precisely how many times. My memory is an extraordinary thing, but it is not perfect. I am human.
I’ve never had a child, and I’ve never gotten old. I don’t know why. I have seen beauty in countless things. I have fallen in love, and she is the one who endures. I killed her once and died for her many times and I still have nothing to show for it. I always search for her; I always remember her. I carry the hope that someday she will remember me.
