About this ebook
An intricate, romantic fantasy filled with sorcery and intrigue surrounding a most unusual love story—with an introduction from Garth Nix.
“Complex . . . subtle . . . compelling reading.”—Booklist
“A haunting, thought-provoking story.”—School Library Journal, starred review
“I love Diana Wynne Jones.”—Robin McKinley
Polly Whittacker has two sets of memories. In one, her childhood is boringly normal. In the other, she is friends with the unusual Thomas Lynn, a cellist whose complicated life expands to include her, too. As she packs to return to college, the second set of memories blazes up to displace the first, and Polly knows something is very wrong. Why did she forget? Is someone trying to make her forget? Soon she is the detective of her own history, and the trail leads her back to Tom Lynn, whose life, she now knows, is at supernatural risk.

This IS my favorite of DWJ's books - every time I read it I see something new and walk away a little bit better from it.
