OPIS KSIĄŻKI:

'This is one of those rare works of near genius by a young writer who, until he produced this book, was utterly unknown . . . A touching, inventive read.' Independent Fifteen-year-old Seth Waller is devastated when his mother is diagnosed with a rare, early-onset form of Alzheimer's. When he was growing up, his mother always brushed aside questions about her past and family, and Seth realises that soon he will lose his chance to find out any more. He decides to uncover the truth about her life, their family history and the condition, and what he discovers is more surprising than he ever could have imagined. Inspired partly by his own family history, The Story of Forgetting is a moving and inspiring novel of love, loss, hope and genetic destiny. 'A compassionate, wildly inventive novel . . . Block has taken a bleak subject and fashioned a story of profound solace and charm.' Guardian 'Block's genetic curse has given him material that is overflowing with meaning and vitality . . . A triumph of a novel.' Independent on Sunday 'Block treats a heartbreaking subject with power and sensitivity.' The Times
