Items related to The Story of Forgetting
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 Stefan Merrill Block's own family history, The Story of Forgetting is a moving and inspiring novel of love, loss, hope and genetic destiny.

Rare Book
Review:
''A novel about Alzheimer's that makes me desperate to know what Block will do next.''--Jodi Picoult, author of "My Sister's Keeper" "A fresh, beguiling novel . . . as true to the anguish of [its] questions as it is ablaze with love and vitality."--"New York Times" "The Story of Forgetting manages to feel big and small in perfect proportion, at once intimate and universal. Mr. Block has made something very beautiful out of something very ugly: a disease that steals people's lives from them . . . It's a book about love. "--"New York Observer" "Blisteringly good . . . The redemptive qualities of storytelling are gloriously displayed in this astonishing first novel."--"Financial Times, "UK "[An] astounding debut . . . compulsive and transporting."--"Publishers Weekly, "starred review "Magical and scientific . . . [Block] is a talent to celebrate and remember."--"USA Today" "Savor the moment because this is a debut worth remembering."--Alan Cheuse,
