About this listen

 From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Last Summer (of You and Me) comes an imaginative, inspired, magical book-a love story that lasts more than a lifetime.

Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short.

Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.

A magical, suspenseful, heartbreaking story of true love, My Name is Memory proves the power and endurance of a union that was meant to be. Action & Adventure Fantasy Fiction Romance Women's Adventure Women's Fiction Magic

Critic reviews

"It's pure romance!"—New York Post

"Literature is filled with lovers that not even death can divide. Heathcliff and Cathy, then Edward and Bella; now in Ann Brashares' entrancing new romantic saga, readers will be swept away by Daniel and Lucy, whose love is truly one for the ages. . . . In My Name is Memory, readers will trace Daniel and Lucy's love over centuries and continents, intoxicated both by the pair's passion and by Brashares' rich historical and geographical detail. A potent mix of The Time Traveler's Wife, Twilight and something entirely new, My Name is Memory . . . will remind readers that when it comes to love, hope springs eternal."—Bookpage

I really enjoyed listening to this, I thought the narrators did a good job of bringing the characters to life. There just seemed to be something missing from it, but I didn't think that until I got to the end. I liked the concept of it, about the different lives and how they didn't always meet and how they weren't always known to each other. I just wish that we knew a little bit more about how/why they came back and their relationship to each other. Also I wanted more from the ending but it was a nice story.

Clever story but seemed slightly lacking

I loved it. I finished it in less than half a day. The ending needed more clarification. Honestly it felt like a cliffhanger and yet not a cliffhanger. The notions the character Daniel portrayed about life and the soul was intriguing and I will forever keep this as my favourite book from here on out. I love this book. I love this story, and it's heart wrenching plot.

100% a must listen and a must read!!!

This needs a sequel!!
