YA
When seventeen-year-old Flora, who has anterograde amnesia, kisses Drake, the kiss somehow stays in her memory. Convinced that Drake is the answer to healing her amnesia, Flora follows him to Svalbard on a quest fraught with uncertainties. The resulting story is a subtle progression of repetition and variation; declarative statements that often repeat build toward a mysterious, then revelatory, journey.
