Like The Passage and Station Eleven, this haunting, thought-provoking, and beautiful novel explores fundamental questions of memory, connection, and what it means to be human in a world turned upside down..
As they journey, each searches for answers: for Ory, about love, about survival, about hope; and for Max, about a new force growing in the south that may hold the cure.
Desperate to find Max before her memory disappears completely, he follows her trail across a perilous, unrecognizable world, braving the threat of roaming bandits, the call to a new war being waged on the ruins of the capital, and the rise of a sinister cult that worships the shadowless.
But Ory refuses to give up the time they have left together.
Knowing that the more she forgets, the more dangerous she will become to Ory, Max runs away.
Their new life feels almost normal, until one day Max\'s shadow disappears too.
Ory and his wife Max have escaped the Forgetting so far by hiding in an abandoned hotel deep in the woods.
The phenomenon spreads like a plague, and while those afflicted gain a strange new power, it comes at a horrible price: the loss of all their memories.
He is only the first.
One afternoon at an outdoor market in India, a man\'s shadow disappears--an occurrence science cannot explain.
It is a sweeping debut that illuminates the power that memories have not only on the heart, but on the world itself.
