The Forgetting Time

The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A thought-provoking book about children who seem to have past lives. It’s a well-written and well-researched book that explores how memories shape us—whether they are our memories or a past life’s or how the act of forgetting affects us as well (frees us? she seems to ask). Interspersed with real-life documentation, this novel makes you wonder. Well written for “pop-fiction” but the ending went on a bit long.
