The Forgetting Time by Sarah Guskin

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

Four year old Noah is pretty much a normal kid apart from one thing, he remembers being a nine year old boy called Tommy. He's haunted by nightmares which in turn makes life hard for his mother. Noah knows things that he shouldn't and it makes other people wonder just what the hell is going on at home.

The Forgetting Time, is the fist novel by Sharon Guskin. It's a whirl wind adventure which looks in to the motion of rebirh. Through out, we get to know more about Noah and his mother as well as the young boy Tommy.

For myself personally, reading The Forgetting time was a one of a kind type of novels. I fully believe that someone can pass away and then be reborn as someone else but still hold the memories of their previous life, just like Noah has of Tommy. I know that there has been cases all over the world where young children has recounted tales of who they were and past family members.

The Forgetting time spins a tale of motherly love, the fear of loosing your child and then the feeling of trying to get passed that feeling of knowing that your child has been missing for a long time and that they are not going to be walking in through the door alive.

I would recommend the novel to anyone who is interested in recarntation, or just a tale about a mother's love that would do anything for their child. It's a passionate novel and I greatly enjoyed reading it.
