An accident wiped out four years of Naomi's memory. Her story is told in this page-turning novel of self-discovery, drawing readers on as she uncovers facts about her past. Zevin portrays the amnesia as neither blessing nor curse: it causes Naomi to relive some painful experiences but also opens new doors. Honest and complex characterization grounds a thoughtful, suspenseful examination of memory and identity.
