About the Book

"When I wasn't reading Sharon Guskin's The Forgetting Time, I was itching to return to it" Jodi Picoult Noah is four and wants to go home. The only trouble is he's already home. Janie's son is her world, and it breaks her heart that he has nightmares. That he's terrified of water. That he sometimes pushes her away and screams that he wants his real mother. That it's getting worse and worse and no-one seems to be able to help. In desperation, she turns to someone who might have an answer - but it may not be one she's ready to hear. It may also mean losing the one thing she loves more than anything. Noah. A novel that spans life, death and everything in between, The Forgetting Time tells an unforgettable story - about Noah, about love, and, above all, about the things we hold onto when we have nothing else.

An epic story about relationships Gripping, deft and moving The Forgetting Time is about memory and forgetting, grieving and letting go, and the lengths a mother will go to for her child A magical, wise, page-turner of a novel that brings to mind the early work of Alice Hoffman.
