My Name is Memory
Ann Brashares
Past lives and reincarnation are pivotal to this first part in a trilogy. For those of you that Ann Brashares rings a bell for, she is the writer of the tenn series:
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
I’m convinced that we all return again and again, so for that reason alone I connected with this book. One of the first tenets of Past Lives, an almost unbreakable rule for most of us is that we do not recall our previous existences without the aid of hypnosis and the such.
Not so for Daniel, the male protagonist of My Name is Memory. Daniel recalls every life he lived and the woman he loves in every lifetime. A sad cyclical romance that always begins and ends in tragedy may yet have its happy ending.
