Daniel Grey is special because he has what is called, “The Memory,” or at least that’s what he calls it. In an earth in which every person is a reincarnation of a soul, he remembers what happened in his past lives and he can recognize people he once knew.
Lucy Broward is completely normal, besides the fact that she feels extremely drawn to Daniel. She doesn’t know that there is a perfectly logical reason. In their past lives, they’ve always had a connection.
This book alternates chapters, one set following present day Daniel and Lucy, and the other explaining Daniel’s long history, spanning centuries and continents, and all the times he has ran into Lucy before. Lucy herself is being forced by her stubborn past life, Constance, to remember the man she never wants to forget.
Opinion
I really like this book, right until the end. The end annoyed me, and I wasn't aware that this was going to be a trilogy, but also, the characters seemed to drastically change in the last fifty pages or so for absolutely no reason. I also didn't quite like Lucy until a hundred pages in, and mostly read it for the parts about Daniel's past. The character's didn't have much development, and I understand that with Daniel. His main point was to stay the same no matter how many times he changes, but everyone else seemed a little two-dimensional besides Ben, a very minor character who seemed to be the only one who excepted change. It was definitely a casual read even though the author probably meant otherwise.
