What isn’t written, isn’t remembered. Even your crimes. Nadia lives in the city of Canaan, where life is safe and structured, hemmed in by white stone walls and no memory of what came before. But every twelve years the city descends into the bloody chaos of the Forgetting, a day of no consequences and no remorse, when each person’s memories—of parents, children, love, life, and self—are lost and forgotten. Unless they have been written. In Canaan, your book is your truth and your identity, and Nadia knows exactly who hasn’t written the truth. Because Nadia is the only person in Canaan who has never forgotten. But when Nadia begins to use her memories to push beyond the walls and solve the mysteries of Canaan, she discovers truths about herself and Gray, the handsome and enigmatic glassblower, that will change her world forever. As the anarchy of the next Forgetting approaches, Nadia and Gray must stop an unseen enemy that threatens both their city and their own existence—before the people can forget the truth. And before Gray can forget her. From the critically acclaimed author of Rook comes an extraordinary exploration of truth and memory, love and loss, and the story of a young woman who must harness an indomitable courage to save her world. debut novel, The Dark Unwinding, was awarded the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators’ Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award and Crystal Kite Award, and was named an ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection.
